I thought a little Friday afternoon hate might do us all some good. (Like by giving us a chuckle or making us think.) Some advice from a reader regarding a stolen-bike story from earlier in the week:
Guess your little U-lock you’all (yes, ya’ll, hip-loser) carry so cleverly on your belt isn’t getting it done. Ever been to NYC? Ever see their locks? Yes, they same type of shit they used to chain-up King Kong. Get with it, SF pussies.
Thanks for the tip!

Somehow, shit-talking that reads like it was banged out by an epileptic crack whore who dropped out of third grade to wait tables full time just doesn’t carry the same weight. Dismissed.
A chain? Ever order some at a store? The first thing they do is ask how much you want, and then snap it off of a bulk roll. Unless you’re getting chain that can withstand about 7000 pounds of cutting force at a marine supply shop, you’re better off with a U-lock.

Quit the hate.
I used one of those while biking around in NYC because it seemed like the thing the cool kids were doing.
Given how fucking heavy that shit is, I’m fine with the chance of some fuckwit jacking open my U-Lock.
Now I’m supposed to feel less than New York because their bike thieves are better?
Catch herpes.
I agree with PFT, there’s nothing more annoying than listening to some blow-hard compare anything to New York. “If weeze were in New York right now, we go down to the Museum of Natural History and rape a mummy.”

why is everyone so snide and hateful, here and everywhere?
does venting hate make you feel good? it makes me feel like crap.
the comment sections of this site are depressing.
They’re not always depressing. Like with a lot of things in life, if you learn to ignore the bad bits, you’ll be rewarded with the handful of uplifting gems that come shining through.
WTF? SF is a small town compared to NYC, and the bike thieves aren’t nearly as adept (or desperate) here. A krypto evolution mini is safe as fuck as long as you have good bolt on skewers.
Hm. My friend’s bike just got stolen off the front of the bus. They (bus drivers) should allow patrons that use the bus..and put their bikes on the front to LOCK them….sucks. AND the bus driver told her he SAW someone taking her bike….Nothing to do w/ chains or u-locks specifically…sorry..
