Cyclists will use bike racks, if provided, for two reasons: it's more secure to lock your bike to a proper rack than a parking meter or a street sign; it also means the bike is less likely to fall over and get damaged.<br /><br />It seems to be pretty unreasonable to seize someone's bike when just because it's locked to a street sign or other piece of public property, especially if there are no bike racks provided.<br /><br />I'm not a lawyer, but I thought Americans were protected from unreasonable seizure of their property:<br /><br />"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227746770847349075.post-55734406848693468112010-07-22T13:47:02.746-04:002010-07-22T13:47:02.746-04:00Amy C
