As we were walking down Lyndale to patronize Herkimer on Saturday night, a man who appeared a bit rough around the edges was riding his bike toward us on the sidewalk, carrying a bolt cutter with a three-foot handle and a "broken" bike lock. This thing looked like it was capable of cutting through anything. A carload of guys was parked nearby. He seemed to know them and he offered to sell them the cutter- actually said they would cut through anything. Granted the bike he was riding wasn't the greatest, but I was very curious what was going on. Frankly, the cutter was probably worth more than the bike. If he stole the bike, why was he carrying the cut cable lock- much less the cutter? Perhaps he merely lost his key? The appearance of impropriety was overwhelming, and if he had lost his key, this guy had absolutely no shame.
Anyway, it was an oddly disturbing sight. Suddenly none of the bikes with cable locks appeared safe.
