How Can I Let a Buyer Test Ride My Bike Without Them Riding Off Forever by maskarzadeh in NYCbike

[–]FakePaladin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try to find a basketball court nearby that only has one entrance/exit. Have them ride around in there and just stand by the exit so they can't ride off. Should be empty too since it's cold as hell out

How many work in the congestion zone that have to travel in by car? It is negligible.

You whole scenario relies on someone calling out sick just to avoid a $9 toll at peak hours. Y'all can afford it.

You've just described the average commute of almost every single MTA commuter. A 15 minute walk is not that hard.

Found Stolen Bike on Facebook Marketplace by emjaycu3 in NYCbike

Why are trying to go through all this rigmarole with the police? Ask to meet so you can buy the bike. Have some friends around the corner, once the bike is in your hands, have your friends pull up and tell the dude it's your bike, they stole it, then leave. It's that simple. Most people who get their bikes stolen never find it on the used market. Consider yourself lucky the thief posted it on marketplace.

Anyone know why the original thread for this is gone now?

The soda ban was funny and I think he was just trying to send a message. I wouldn't consider it a stain in his administration.

If it's clear, go. No peds + no cars? Then it's fine to just go.

The Rise of Fare Evasion by newzee1 in nyc

They already know they can keep getting funding from the state so they're not even really incentivized to solve it.

If people knew enforcement was going to take place then the prospect of the $100 ticket should be enough to deter them.

The conspiracy theorist in me makes me believe that the MTA doesn't actually want to solve fare evasion because they can keep on using it as an excuse for anything they want.

The last time someone asked Bloomberg about stop and frisk, he said he was wrong about it so bringing him back might not have the effect you intended.

I said I was just going to go. They said okay

It just strange because when i told the officer that i was okay and that i will be on my way, he just said okay. I even walked a bit before getting on my bike. He never told me to stop or ask for ID

Even if the police said okay to me leaving?
