You may also want to contact the local press though and say you believe, based on your experience and your friend's, that there seems to be a theft pattern.<br />And sorry to hear your bike was stolen btw. I just found your blog but it looks really fun and charming. Following. :-)Sabinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345225002773583958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039389393310364849.post-54113377794311775412011-09-25T01:52:33.747-04:002011-09-25T01:52:33.747-04:00I'm so sorry to hear about your bike! I don...I'm so sorry to hear about your bike! I don't know what I'd do without my bike, because it's pretty much my only way of getting around town! They have these mini bike parking lots all around town and someone will watch your bike for the entire day for just 20 cents. It's a huge relief when I need to run errands. Anyway, I've been meaning to comment on your blog because I love keeping up with your biking stories. Hope you get some response back from BART!Sewonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391061643647694470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039389393310364849.post-74342842544425247742011-09-22T14:54:49.176-04:002011-09-22T14:54:49.176-04:00my bike has definitely become a "you don'...my bike has definitely become a "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone." kind of thing. my roommate recently borrowed my bike and got in a small accident, but now i don't have a front wheel and i am also bikeless. i never realized how much i loved to ride my bike or how often i used it until i couldn't use it anymore. i hope you are able to be back on wheels soon and that someone hears you out on your plea for better bike security :)kitten roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734762457780620630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039389393310364849.post-26081357363196453312011-09-22T01:21:19.705-04:002011-09-22T01:21:19.705-04:00thank you so much dory, those are definitely words...thank you so much dory, those are definitely words of encouragement.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454898138117340431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039389393310364849.post-71940768984392063672011-09-21T23:07:39.859-04:002011-09-21T23:07:39.859-04:00Hi: I don't know how municipal stuff works in ...Hi: I don't know how municipal stuff works in San Francisco, but from my experience in New York I wouldn't stop with just a letter to BART. Contact your city councilor and/or the councilor for the station, call 311 or the equivalent, go to the police precinct. If there are community meetings or community associations, go to them, get a whole list of names of people calling for more bike racks and better security. If there's something like Transportation Alternatives or any other bike advocacy group, find out if they can help with a collective letter writing campaign or such. <br /><br />It often takes multiple fronts and multiple voices to get something done. But keep at it! Rock on!Dory Kornfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710327915893028820noreply@blogger.com
