Trust

Been seeing quite a few instances of spontaneous trust on display in the Queen city. Bicycles locked to sidewalk racks - merely tethered to the frames.

Granted, these two are in a fairly heavily trafficked area. However, there was a fairly nice ride locked up at my local park 'n' ride the other day. A flimsy cable lock looped only through the frame.

Ah - guess it's not mine to judge. Besides - with all this easy bait out there - adverse selection dictates that sticky-fingered bicycle thieves will lift these before taking on my heavy-duty u-lock and woven cable.
