Bike Knocked Over Twice Now.
For the second time in three years I’ve found my bike on its side when parked on the street. In fact the same two way street it was knocked over on a couple years ago and not the street I normally park on. The first time led to 4 months in the shop. It was upright at least as of 7pm tonight.
This time the front of the bike was on its left side pointing in the wrong direction towards the car parked behind it as if it was spun 90 degrees to the left. It must have hit the curb when it fell because the left side of the handle bars is bent downward.
Yeah I have insurance, yes it’s a risk parking it on the street. What I’m trying to figure out is if someone somehow hit it in a car while driving on the wrong side of the road and aimed for it (because I don’t see how else they could have hit it and rotate it that direction.) or if someone tried to steal it or pushed it over just because. Both locks were in tact. The cover still on, and the key hole not drilled into. I don’t even know if there’s a way to tell if it was an attempted theft or a hit n run or a dickwad walking that wanted to knock something over.
Everyone talks about how it’s guaranteed you’ll drop a bike at least once in your life. No one says anything about it being guaranteed if you don’t drop it someone else is going to knock it over for you.
I don’t know the point of this thread, it’s 3am and I’m annoyed. This shit is making me want to just give up on owning a bike around here.
