With school starting hundreds of bicycle riding teens and 20 somethings are descending on the capital city. What does this mean? More bikes to steal! While FSU students are providing more opportunities for thieves, Drexel students can feel a little safer. If you're a potential thief and use the Internet to improve your stealing abilities I'd recommend avoiding wikihow.
First: Bike theft affects us all. Whether it's our bike or someone we know, all who bike have a story ends with a bike that's gone forever. Well, students at Drexel University can rest a little easier knowing that at least one thief has been caught.
Second: Thieves in the know use a pen cap to crack most Kriptonite locks. Thieves trying to learn might use a trick they learned from wikihow. Let's just say that if you see someone lugging a car jack toward a bike rack you might want to call the cops. (NB: They're still looking for someone to explain how to "pick a bike lock.")
Finally: I love bike cops as much as the next person, but I still find this article hilarious. My favorite line "Among the tips they've picked up: your chin strap can choke you in a fight, it's not good etiquette to ditch your bike in front of your partner and it's important to stay in shape — if you arrive at the crime scene out of breath, you're not much use." This is what they came all the way from Canada to hear?
