Charlie Short 11.5 replied to Seancarl's discussion 'Chicago D.O.T cutting bike locks?'"We do abandoned bike removal about once a month, and sometimes we take a little longer to collect the bikes after they are tagged. This last collection was about 45 bikes. We actually tage the bikes in two places, just in case someone removes the…"
M.G. replied to Seancarl's discussion 'Chicago D.O.T cutting bike locks?'"You are correct sir. I did not stand there and watch them cut 15 bikes. I rode by and did a quick count on the handlebars I could see in the back of the truck. Next time I see something like this I will do some sleuthing at the time of the…"
Ace Mann replied to Seancarl's discussion 'Chicago D.O.T cutting bike locks?'"Working bikes only get vulture frames from the city. Never complete bikes. Once the yellow tag goes on a bike, it is a free for all. Most bike get stripped to just a frame.

Anne Alt replied to Seancarl's discussion 'Chicago D.O.T cutting bike locks?'"It's across the street from Union Station, next to 120 S. Riverside Plaza. I know people who work in that office building, which doesn't have enough rack space in the warmer months.

I noticed that that in the past couple of days they've put in new bike racks 'inside' the station, down the two car entrance ramps from Canal. Could they be removing the old bike racks that were…"

Jim Freeman replied to Seancarl's discussion 'Chicago D.O.T cutting bike locks?'"I'd be interested to hear what this was. I find it hard to believe there were 15 abandoned bikes. The Chicago Municipal code requires bikes to be labeled with a sign indicating when the bicycle will be removed. In my…"

Paul Fitz, Scrabblor replied to Seancarl's discussion 'Chicago D.O.T cutting bike locks?'"I would imagine that these were abandoned bikes. While it would be weird for the streets + san guys to get 15 bikes from a single location, it would not be surprising for them to pick up 15 bikes within a few hours. Most of these bikes…"

Saw this on www.reddit.com/r/chibike Figured I'd give people a heads up here."This morning on my commute to work I saw a large City of Chicago DOT truck and some workers using a cutting torch to remove the u-locks from every bike that was locked up to the bike racks on the NE corner of Adams and Canal and then they were loading the bikes into the back of the truck. Anyone know why or what is happening to these bikes? It was probably 15 bikes in…See More
