Is there some kind of accepted protocol for dealing with abandoned bikes that are locked to bike racks taking up valuable space? I wouldn't normally care, but the bike rack outside my office is *very* full, and this one bike appears to have been abandoned there in one of the best spots. The seat is long since gone/stolen, but the front tire is locked up with the back tire and frame.

I know the bicycle couriers would appreciate an extra spot during the day. Not sure if I should just mind my own business.

Agreed. Not that I'm a professional ... but that's been my experience as well. The ones who talk a big game have no game.

I work at the corner of Congress and 17th. Those two bike cops have been hanging around a lot the past few days. I've seen them every day along Congress between MLK and the Capitol. I even spoke to them 2 days ago and they were not friendly, so if you're riding in the area, make sure you stop at all the stop signs, etc.

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town. Be a part of history and make a post!
