Tough Luck

Check out this bike scene:

I walked by this little disaster the other day. What I can gather is that a car hopped a curb, smashed into a “No Stopping” sign, and managed to crush a bike with said “No Stopping” sign. What a terrible coincidence that a thin little pole could fall in exactly the right way to destroy some poor person’s bike. Then again, maybe the bike deserved this, being stopped in a place it shouldn’t have been. I’d also be remiss not to mention that incredible caution taping job, I just want to know how drunk the police officer who put that up was.

I had something like this happen to my bike once, though I just needed to buy a new seat. I suppose this person will probably need a whole new bike. RIP.
