Stolen Google Campus Bike

Seen at the San Jose Bike Party last Friday night.


San Jose Bike Party No Pants Ride July 2013

Somewhere around here I have a phone number for a Google property manager who asked for reports of stolen campus bikes, but I can’t find that contact information at the moment.

You can view my full set of photos from last Friday’s bike party over here. Those high res photos take a while to load, however, so I’ve also compiled them into the lower-resolution (480p) video slideshow below.



Bike theft has the attention of a San Francisco Supervisor; hearing Thursday morning

San Francisco Supervisor Eric Mar commissioned the county Budget & Legislative Analyst office to study the impact of bike theft in San Francisco. His office scheduled a hearing on the problem of bike theft for tomorrow morning, Thursday, July 18 2013, 10 AM at City Hall, room 250. Representatives from the San Francisco Department of Public Works, San Francisco police, and other agencies will be on-hand to discuss what has been done and hear about ideas for ways to reduce bike theft. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition asks members of the public to share their stories and show support for increased efforts to reduce theft.

Cop witnesses cyclist get crossed by DC cabbie, hits the siren

Don’t you hate those scofflaw, law breaking drivers? They should make them get registration and take driving tests to learn the rules of the road before they kill somebody.

Just the other day, Bill Walsh was just riding along on Pennsylvania Avenue with his helmet cam when a cab driver pulls a U-turn directly in front of him and next to a “NO U-TURN” sign. Walsh stops to avoid bumping the cab door. To his surprise, Walsh hears a siren behind him. A cop had witnessed the whole thing and pulled the taxi driver over.



Stupid question from me: Can the FBI police enforce DC traffic regulations? They normally do security type work for FBI facilities in the District.
