I think there are couple of sharpie "tags" on the bike....Is putting stickers on someone's bike similar to "tagging " something with spray paint?
YepDid your bike start out with no stickers or markers and people put them on?
Yup.Is putting stickers on someone's bike similar to "tagging " something with spray paint?
And damn, how clean and full of hope this thing was before the city got it's mitts on it.
Its been thru a lot... rain.... fire!And damn, how clean and full of hope this thing was before the city got it's mitts on it.
So you leave this thing on the street in the city 24/7/365? and hop on it everyday to get to and from the bus/train - office? if so, that is awesome. I can't believe it has lasted that long without being messed with.Yep
The idea was to make it crappy as possible, without affecting function, to try to avoid theft.
This is how it looked on day 1.... 2 years ago

Off season, I bring it back home for maintenance and such.So you leave this thing on the street in the city 24/7/365? and hop on it everyday to get to and from the bus/train - office? if so, that is awesome. I can't believe it has lasted that long without being messed with.
What is really surprising is that right now, I have left an e-bell on the bike for about a week and it hasn't been stolen yet.
As long as he leaves me an OH in its place
That is/was a very clean bike compared to what it is now.Yep

Not sure when... just noticed it today. The bike was locked up by PABT past 2 days due to rain.When, over the weekend?
Will Max post $25 e-bell in the classifieds?
Do you not have your saddle/post chainlinked down? Dont know if any of you GW commuters ever saw the dude with no post/saddle rider. I talked to him one day and said someone stole his post and saddle 4 years ago and never replaced it. This guy was a daily comutter.Not sure when... just noticed it today. The bike was locked up by PABT past 2 days due to rain.
