Swindlers

A random act of kindness.

I've transitioned to riding my bike to work everyday to save money on the rising cost of a metrocard and to enjoy the nice weather.

Yesterday as I was leaving work, I came down from my office to see that my bike wheels were taken off my bike and locked together. A note written on a menu and attached to the lock read "Someone was stealing your wheels, I locked them together, call xxx-xxx-xxxx."

Suffice to say a bike messenger was riding by and noticed someone stealing my bike and stopped him by locking my wheels together. This would have really put another dent in my pocket book as I would have needed to resume taking the subway and buy a new bike! Thanks to this kind act of civic duty, I learned a valuable lesson. Tribeca bikers, beware of bike wheel theft!
