    Bikes get stolen around here all the time. Cable locks get clipped.

    I use a big chain and those padlocks for storage units.

    One time my sister and her bf were out here on a booze cruise, and they lost the key to their lock. So my buddy and I were in a busy area (cars, cops, foot traffic) clipping the lock with bolt cutters without my sister even there.. and nobody said a damn thing. I thought that was interesting.

    I understand that part. I was mostly complaining about my experiences with personnel telling me I could bring my bike in for a brief moment ONLY IF I physically carried it.

    But I'm considerate though; if I see that the location inside is crowded, I won't bother trying to bring my bike inside. But if its practically empty, I think they could offer a little leeway.

    :p

    I do feel ya on your issue though. The times I've rode a bike and stopped in a convenience store just to grab a bottle of water and brought my bike with me, I've had employees stare at me and freak out (omg the tension) and the last time I tried this, I got yelled at. I don't see the problem if the place is empty like you've said and you're just grabbing something real quick. For some reason it seems to cause problems though..

    I worked in a convenience store and this hippy would contanty come in drag her huge ass bike in the store, blocking aisles and cutting off other customers. Every time she said she was going to be "real quick", but ended up taking he sweet time causing all kinds of problems for other customers as well as the employees. The last time she came in I had to yell her about it, geez some people.

    It's a conspiracy, by big money, to make everyone buy a gas guzzler.

    just watched a documentary about how the CIA murdered Frank Olson because of his knowledge about their experiments with Sarin, and their experiments with lsd as a truth syrum. Now if anything ever comes into the light, it never surprises me.... its like

    REALLY that surprises you....

    So how does one define a conspiracy
