I had to look it up. A Divvy bike is evidently a Chicago public-use bike. Some are manual. Some are electric. You can rent one at hundreds of locations around the city.
I do wonder how the thieves get their bikes. Perhaps they use a stolen credit card. Perhaps they just break the locking device.
Anyway, it’s nice to see that the thieves are going green. Manual bike or electric, either choice will help save the Erf.

Wow, I think he has found the way to stop crime.

My cat just informed me that I should not have used the word “manual” when describing one of the bike types. “Foot-powered” would have been better.
Mr. Whiskers is quite fussy. But he’s usually right.

We live in the west burbs of Chicago and it’s my personal policy that I never go any unarmed. While local I usually carry a sub compact pistol chambered in .45. This weekend we had occasion to be in Wicker Park in the north side.
I carried a full size 9mm pistol and 2 spare 15 round magazines.
Yep, that’s my policy.

Interesting choices. 45 sub compact is pretty snappy for a pocket gun. Scratch that REAL snappy.

Possibly a reference to the song “a country boy can survive”. One of the lines talks about what the singer would do to the person who killed his friend,”I’d love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eye, shoot him with my old 45”

What’s ironic is that much of our woke/tech/phone-app/green “innovation” depends on high levels of social trust.
Want to book an unsupervised, communal bike, with a phone app, use it for 1 hour, and return it unbroken to a distant point, for someone else to use?
Well, ALL the players and all the nodes of that system must be “honest players,” must be responsible, relatively high IQ, etc...
A few bad actors acting purely selfishly, or irrationally, or against the system itself - can easily destroy the system for everyone.

I bet there are more than that. Shanghai has a population of 39 million, most of them on bicycles. I got dizzy just walking on the sidewalks. Beijing's population is 21 million and most people ride bicycles. It is mind boggling. That photo is just the share bicycles discarded do to damage. The whole field looks like this:

A Divvy bike is evidently a Chicago public-use bike. Chicago where everything is done to help criminals be criminals... what a hellhole.

I remember seeing the bicycle garages in Amsterdam and being blown away by that.
