Yesterday, our son rode his bike to the 38th street station and took the
light rail to the Twins day game, when he came back about 4:30 his bike
lock had been cut and the bike was gone. Not only that but when I
visited the scene later with him, there were two other bike locks laying
on the ground that had been cut - one was a cable version and one was an
actual metal link chain. His bike was a brand new blue Schwinn
Frontier, theres $250 I won't see again.
Obviously these thiefs are brazen enough to do this in broad daylight,
in plain view of light rail riders and patrons who sit outside The
Cardinal facing the bike racks.
So if you are using a cable or chain-style bike lock, do yourself a
favor and invest in one of those u-joint steel versions. Sure they are
more cumbersome but your bike will still be there when you want it.
