I was shocked to find my bicycle sprawled across the pavement when I finished my workout this evening. My bicycle was beaten up by some thugs. I parked in a small parking lot right next to my office building where late-arrivers park their scooters when the main parking lot is full. The malicious act left my poor baby on the ground, rear brake handle rotated from its original position, and even worse, basket badly warped. If my bike owned a wallet, I'm sure that would have been taken too.

It didn't take me long to realize what this was about. The culprit was clearly a scooterer who, without the courtesy to stand it back up, knock my bike over and left it for dead. These so-called "Bicycle Hate Crimes" are becoming more common and is plaguing what otherwise seems like a docile Science and Technology Park environment.

It's time to take action! I am going to constitute a Science and Technology Park Neighborhood Bike Watch. No more shall we be victims of such tasteless acts of inconsideration, I say. No more.

Anyway, I'm going to scooter to work tomorrow. Maybe kick over a bike or two.
