[solution] IN YER FACE PRANKSTERS

Some of you might recall, two weeks ago I awoke to a police man waiting for me in the street due to my scooter delicately balanced on the hood of a minivan.

Well I’ve finally come up with a tentative scooter lockdown response. It involves two locks: one looped through the grates of a manhole and one attached to my bike. So far, so good. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the parking authorities slapped me with some sort of fine for being creative. They are clearly not sympathetic to creativity.

And, in related news, I received my “Notice of Hearing” (aka court date) to defend myself from the five parking tickets i was issued for attaching my scooter to a lamppost (to prevent it from being stolen, or relocated to the hoods of minivans). I’ll be presenting my case “à la Ally McBeal” on October 8. Anyone want to join me?

    Why aren’t you able to just lock it like a bike? Isn’t that the concept for these e-bikes, that they aren’t motorcycles and don’t need to be on the street?

      @Gonzobot – My point exactly! It takes the same space of a bicycle!
