I wonder what the plan was here.
I noticed a #Biketown bike locked up to the poorly-placed dumb-wave-rack outside the grocery store. Someone had cut all the spokes on the front wheel.
Were they trying to steal the rim+tire ?
Or the hub? Did they think the Sturmey-Archer drum brake hub (appx $90) was actually a multi-hundred dollar hub-motor?
Either way, did they think that they could bypass the security axle nuts? And if so, why cut the spokes at all?
Simple vandalism?

In order to report this unridable bike to #Biketown it looks like I have to create Lyft account
Hard pass.

@voiceofunreason oh, that's weird. They didn't *get* the hub...

@voiceofunreason@xoxo.zone Possibly revenge if the bike was too securely locked for them to get it out? #lang_en

@voiceofunreason
Note to self. Lock Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres too…
️Seriously, I don't know. How odd.
