say, ALL CAPS CRAPTASTIC CYCLIST, I too own a dirty bike, as I am, (like you) too poor to own a motorized vehicle
Riding a bike is a signal to the government goon (like being colored and/or disheveled)that the goon has the right to profile you. Saddly, like in the kino 1948 Italian neorealist drama film, Bicycle Thieves, I have been forced to steal bicycles after another peasant stole mine. But then I went high end and stole a Gucci, the Guccissima bike a handcrafted Italian cruiser bike valued at $36k US. I followed this rich cunt riding this bike riding my own $20 beater bike and watched him put it outside his mansions garage, pulled my n95 mask up and ran up quick and left my bike there, and took his. I rode all the way home on my real quick new bike, and locked it in my basement apartment
I went back and watched the rich bitch cry to the cops. I painted it black, but can't sell it, as it is to easy recognized. The cops still profile me though, as they are too stupid know quality.
