Romaine must have left before they arrived.
my husband and I had our bicycles stolen in december. When he went to public safety to file a report the officer laughed at him, and then filled the report out. They had also been locked at the bicycle rack.
the rira must do something about this .
this is roosevelt island , its always been like this .you wont ever read about these kinds of things happanding, in the main street wire .as they cover things like this up .rioc keeps all this under cover . the owners want those high rents .
I had a bike stolen once that was chained to a fence at an extremely busy intersection beside a college campus in broad daylight. It wasn't even that good a bike. Bikes are favorite targets of theft. I suggest RIOC install anti-theft videocams at all bike parking locations and prominently post a sign that the parking area is under video surveillance. This at least will serve as a deterrent. Another option is to install the bike version of LoJak - or a similar system to the microchipping of pets - so that if a bike is stolen, it's location can be pinpointed. That would also certainly serve to deter bike theifs!
I remember during the day time hours, there use to be an officer doing a stolen bike engraving program. He would note the serial # and etch a unique serial number on the bike frame. I dont know if they still do that, but it wouldnt hurt to ask. I know for sure it was only during the day time hours.
We really need safe bicycle parking here on the island. When the escalator is removed at Motorpark, that would be the perfect place to have safe. cheap bike storage!
Yes, RIOC President, please get rid of that escalator in the Motorgate's Atrium. It's the biggest eye-sore on the island and the space could be used for something better.
RIOC President, the above 2 posters are right. If you are not going to fix the escalator in Motorgate, why not simply remove it. There is already access to that level of Motorgate via elevator and stairs so the escalator is hardly necessary. Removing it would free up space that would be most suitable for indoor bike parking/storage.
I AM HAPPY ABOUT BIKES BEING STOLEN.I HATE BIKE RIDERS,I HATE BIKE LANES IN THE CITY ,ITS FOR THE NEW TYPE OF PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND , I HOPE BIKES KEEP GETTING STOLEN.
