more homeless people
more homeless people with bikes
those bikes look a little shiney....
makes me wonder...
there is an interesting thing about the homeless
they can live on the streets and set up "camp" in the park
but everytime I every tried to camp for a night in an undesignated area
or in a camping area that happened to be closed for the off season
I ended up getting run out my "the man"
I try to be compassionate
do I need these LED THROWIES for my next night relay mountain bike event?

So now ya got homelessness-envy?
As for the puzzle of the bikes, don't worry: any shiny bike pinched by a homeless person won't be in the appropriator's (business-speak for "thief") hands for long, unless he/she happened to also steal a good lock and key. Chances are good that those bikes will see more ass than the proverbial toilet seat!
the sad thing....
the notion of the disposable society extends not just from those that have
but also to the have nots
so many people can not afford what it costs to get something fixed
it is my uneducated guesstimation that it is easier for the theif to steal another bike rather than having to shell out for some basic repairs
the thousand dollar bike without grips tends to tell me something
the clipless pedals with sneakers on top
the crazy out of true rear wheel with the brakes disconnected
these are all red flags that draw my attention
If the frame isn't locked to the tire a thief could remove the front tire and get away with your bike.

helena... thanks for your trolling comment
it worked... it got me to visit your site
your statement is true.... but that post is years old and will less than likely be viewed
if you want more traffic to your site
try some alternate guerilla market tactics
have a bike give away at a local school
host a bike rodeo that gives out free helmets to the kids in the neighborhood
