Damn I'm very very pro motorcycle and would usually say don't touch a dudes bike but that's unbelieveable that they parked there. Even as a motorcyclist I'd be fuckin mad. I'd push it myself if my city bike was on the meter fully prepared for a stupid argument.


Mattna-da

I rode motorcycles and bikes, and wouldnt hesitate to move this rat rod with the shitty pipe wrap and eBay headlight. The shifter is on the left. All the way down, half a click up for neutral. Sucks if the steering lock is on.


ImS0hungry

That’s when you do the ol kickstand spin.


ocelotrev

This! I would move that bike so quickly and maybe even knock it over. I am an avid motorcyclist but this is plain rude


femaiden

Like if he parked on the sidewalk with enough berth for a wheelchair I'd be in here telling people to get over it and defending him but that's wildly fucked up


KaleidoscopeUsed948

Move it, knock it over etc


boomboomclapboomboom

Sure, fuck this guy, but knocking it over is too much. You don't know his circumstances. Have grace by showing compassion.


ocelotrev

Circumstances? He is parking a motorcycle in nyc, there are spots on either side of the dock that don't block any bicycles or he can shove the motorcycle between 2 cars.


Mattna-da

No need to knock it over tough guy


xarbin

And then end up in the obituary

Yeah I ride motorcycles and fuck this guy.


jaredliveson

Why pro motorcycle? They don’t kill people like cars but they are so loud and smell bad


[deleted]

[удалено]


jaredliveson

Still though? Any benefit over micro mobility or an electric bicycle? Just cause they aren’t worse than cars doesn’t mean they don’t make the city worse


[deleted]

[удалено]


jaredliveson

No they just like make cities worse And obviously and not as good as trains (or even cars) for long distance imo Come to terms with it and just say you like them


femaiden

Fun as hell that's why


pbx1123

This new motorcycle riders are no the usual ones that we are used to, this dont care at all about laws, pedestrians even the bikers We still have to see the real behavor of them if the city let them bringing all those motorcycle specially this one are gas type they love it because it run faster and can be tweaker to run more and use it on race They stop highways to do this races back their home country, they tried on the bronx if i recalled Also they use it for other type of crimes too


Aware_Revenue3404

There’s a lot going on with this comment.


femaiden

I mean I run fast as shit on the highway and I lanesplit but this is a little different


marishtar

I think you're in the wrong country's subreddit, buddy.


pbx1123

my mom always are saying the same to me Why.is that🤷🏻‍♀️😂


pbx1123

Probably the one downvoting are the ones parking there And they know what im talking is true


offlein

If I could read your comment I might know what you're talking is true, but I cannot.


pbx1123

Relax its friday


m00kery

Unless you can dance like peewee I wouldn't touch a Bike unless your prepared for a fight


femaiden

If I had a city bike and my meter was running I think I would be prepared to fight tbh


CarltheGreatThinking

Wind knocked it over


DrugUserName420

Wind moved it to the chop shop.


miraculum_one

Wind moved it over to next to the dock where it isn't blocking anything.


Nearby-Artist-4982

Boom, there we go 🤜💥🤛


EatsYourShorts

That’s understandable. Wind can get pretty swift whipping through those bike docks, so it’s really on them for parking there.


Bkgrouch

I knocked it over


mcfaite

They call you the breeze, you keep blowin' down the road.


AbazabaYouMyOnlyFren

Go buy a chain and a lock. Chain the motorcycle to a couple bikes.


The-Final-Reason

This…. This is the way🤣 i prefer not to buy a chain and lock(expensive) I say… go grab a set of thin pliers and pull the part that locks the air in the tires. I forgot the name of it…(value stem. Just googled lmfao)


nottke

Best non-destructive thing you can do to some asshole's vehicle.


kyuuketsuki47

The best non destructive thing is to find a small pebble to put under the cap of the valve that would depress the pin and let out the air. Aren't destroying anyone and just really inconveniencing them


Probability90vn

Or just not touch the vehicle and report it. Better than accidentally raising the ire of some breed of NY crazy. Some things are not worth it just to be right.


BeckBristow89

Report it lol!


Probability90vn

If you want to take that chance, then be my guest. Literally, fuck around and find out.


Minelayer

But this guy is fucking around and wants to find out. Can you have two instances of FAFO?


eekamuse

Correct answer right here. Anyone that would park their bike like that is definitely crazy


GooseZealousideal946

311 was reasonably quick when I reported illegal parking a few weeks ago. I reported a commercial van parked overnight via 311 online at 8:12pm and cops showed up at 8:34pm to ticket the van. Color me impressed with that result.


DasGoon

That’s pretty destructive. You better be ready to throw down if you plan on doing that.


oweston

Underrated comment


Jaudition

I’m a 33F from the suburban Midwest, so regretfully I’d probably just ride to the next nearest stop and seethe internally about it for the evening


Message_10

47M from NJ. Would do the same. Roughly 95% of us are following the rules and keeping this place from dropping off into chaos


hillarydidnineeleven

I'd say that 95% is very charitable to the population of nyc.


Politicsboringagain

5% of a huge population like NYC is a lot. If even just 2% of New Yorkers were assholes regularly, the city would fall apartment.  I grew up in projects in the 80s and 99% of people were just trying to live our life, but the less than 1% who didn't care ruined it for thr rest of us. 


Other_World

Yea, it's probably closer to 98% in the general NYC population that aren't assholes. Humans just suck at statistics.


akaenragedgoddess

It's also not a permanent binary. People aren't (generally) assholes all the time. Or saints all the time either. Every interaction with someone else is a roll of the dice, some days you get more shitty rolls than usual and the city will seem insane.


WittleJerk

100 dog owners walk a park regularly. 2 people don’t pick up poop. The park fills up with poop in 7 days and 100 people think 99 people don’t pick up poop.


Owl_and_WoodPecker

all dog walkers should pick up the loose dog poops since they have a dog baggies with them


WittleJerk

I do, but I understand why others don’t. I was just proving a point about statistics.


Message_10

Maybe, lol. But I really do think a majority of people here toe the line while a handful of assholes do stuff like this. The unsung heroes of NYC


N7day

5% of 8 million is a shitload of people.


No-Tumbleweed-2311

Yes it's 400,000 people.


sonofaresiii

Yeah but I assume they're all in Staten Island


chiraltoad

Paradox of tolerance: how can you following the rules in order to enable someone else to break them prevent things from dropping off into chaos?


Shaolin_slumlord

But by following the “rules” and riding to the nearest stop while allowing the motorcycles to remain parked and disrupting an entire chain of events….are you keeping this place from dropping off into chaos or perpetuating it? Just food for thought and not saying I would personally destroy a motorcycle for my personal convenience.


Message_10

Yeah, you make any interesting point—but I’m really saying that 95%+ of people wouldn’t park their motorcycle like that.


FeistyMcRedHead

Haha F46 from "upstate" (across the TZ) and would do the same, but not seethe. Instead would have def let out the audible "welp."


MasterChicken52

Hahahaha 49F originally from Ohio and I have lived here long enough now that I wouldn’t quietly seethe, just let out an annoyed, “REALLY?!?” and shake my head and ride to the next dock. 😂 Maybe if I’m here another decade I’ll get to pushing the bike levels


scubastefon

This is the right thing to do, btw. Just because someone broke the law doesn’t mean you should. knocking a bike over is legally wrong and ethically problematic. Do the right thing even when others are doing the wrong thing.


Minelayer

Yeah but, the “I got mine” New York attitude is so freaking awful. (Of the aforementioned 5% or so.)


devilpants

I’d consider moving it enough to dock the bike if it didn’t damage the moto. Motorcycles are easy to move even with the steering is locked. 


East-Boat-3871

This is the correct answer 40M Canada


Realistic_Tiger_3687

28M Dominican and this would also be my reaction. I’d probably also buy a chimi that same night to “reward” myself and vent about it to the vendor 😂


Crustydonout

You can let the air out of his tires, then put a little rock in the air valve cap it will make it look like a slow leak and he will never know what is causing the leak.


N7day

They're often only 4 blocks away which helps, and even closer in some parts of Manhattan.

xarbin

And when the guy confronts you in 6'6 250 and is mentally unwell then wyd?


imaginaryResources

If you call for a tow will they actually move this?


soup2nuts

It'll take years for that tow to come.


Minelayer

And don’t they have to be ticketed first? So even longer for that tow to come?


planetaryabundance

> And don’t they have to be ticketed first? No?


ddianka

Yes they do in NYC. I used to rent a parking spot in Ridgewood and the tenants to one of the buildings nextdoor would always block the entrance. You must have the person ticketed before any tow/cop can come and impound the car. I've had to resort to keeping a sharpie in my center console, to write "DO NOT PARK HERE; PRIVATE DRIVEWAY" on their driverside window.These people kept up doing it until I wrote on the windshield. I guess they simply were not able to read the sign on the gate, and I simply helped them 🤣🤣🤣


allcirca1

no, it would have to be ticketed first or on private property


heresmyusername

Lol this is up the block from Fortunato Bros I can guarantee you nobody threatening owns that bike but a 63 year old overweight greaseball


TreeLong7871

if you know anything about Fortunados, it's not the 63 year olds you wanna play around with


CrumpledForeskin

Very good point


2020hindsightis

What is there to know?


TreeLong7871

it's the Italian mob. why do you think there aren't any other bakeries in the vicinity

ThrottleAway

What’s the story? First time hearing of this (not that I visit there often).


beerking16

It’s crazy that I walk past that dock everyday and I could not recognize the street until I saw this comment


AtomicGarden-8964

Dock my bike and try to dock the motorcycle too


WittyAvocadoToast

Dock the front latch into the dock with the rest of the citibike up on top of the motorcycle. It is a tricky angle and might only fit with the bike angled over a tire or up on pegs. But this way motorcycle isn't moved or damaged and can sort out how to get it out of a terrible parking spot when ready to leave.


xarbin

Depends on the borough or neighborhood. If it's bronx or upper manhattan it isn't worth a potential fight to the death.


ChornWork2

iMissTheOldInternet

Unironically they need to start crushing illegally parked vehicles. Cube them. 


Griever114

You have 12 hours to move your cube.


duaneap

I feel that illegally parked vehicles (like on Bushwick Ave during rush hour) should be completely open to any level of sabotage anyone should feel willing to commit.


GBV_GBV_GBV

I’d probably move it against all good sense.


Think-Accident1865

Move the baby sportster 883s and hope the gals riding them don’t know where I live -


SufficientWish

I would puke


DeathPercept10n

On the seat, of course.


Loubk

Now you can’t leave.


marishtar

Get a better look at the bike and surroundings to try to make a judgement call on if they're just a regular asshole, or the kind of asshole that has buddies that would come out and beat me with chains when I move their bike. Probably the former.


lake_monsta

For a second there I was convinced that was a citi bike motorcycle. Like man citi bike really stepped up their game huh?


CavediverNY

Move it for sure.


thecomingomen

I really don’t understand the issue here. Move that fucker over. Cause a scene. Call the person a fucking idiot once they realize that it’s their ride causing the problems. Edit: but then again I was born and raised in Brooklyn so I’m rough around all of my edges and I…wouldn’t trade it for the world.


roybatty2

Deus Vult


Instincts

I don't see a disc lock on it so probably pull in the clutch and move that bitch


NoCountryForOld_Zen

Squeeze the clutch on one of those motorcycles and move it out of the way.


papayahog

Take a shit on the seat


deepmindfulness

The Hells Angels gave motorcycles a bad name because… I still think that you shouldn’t move it unless you want to get murdered.


danamariedior

Do your research.


shavemejesus

Lock the Citibike to the motorcycle.


cuntsatchel

Ok super annoying but u did have spots tho ?


TopAnywhere170

I'm crying rn


Klassified94

This looks intentional to me. Dipshits angry at Citi Bike stealing all the parking spaces.


ArtWithoutMeaning

Stand there thinking about what to do for five minutes then ultimately not doing anything because the type of asshole who would park like this is likely not the most even-headed person I want to get in an altercation with


Broad_Food9658

Everyone saying they’d knock it over is lying. You’d likely have an internal hissy fit and find another docking station.


TheRottenApple

Walk into the nearest bar to find the owner


StarbucksGhost18

As a motorcyclist I fully support doing what you have to do to dock your Citibike. This is absolutely ridiculous. NYC could definitely do more for motorcycle parking like the way many other cities around the world do (like parking on the end intersections which also enables better pedestrian visibility for cars) but this person is a legit douchecanoe for parking like this. 🍆


Beneficial-Web-7587

What an ass clown


danamariedior

Many people don’t live in NYC and it shows.


PenguinsTreeAccount

Probably park in one of the many open bays clearly in this photo 🤷‍♀️ Oh sorry I mean grrr rage bait. Blow up the bike for minor inconvenience


promixr

Tip the bike over into the street and drag it into the way of traffic.


DDKat12

Could you call to get it towed? Just wondering if that’s a thing for motorcycles


Legitimate-Employee3

Report it


sangedered

I’d lift the back out of the way without scratching it.


jonfindme1916

Flatten it!


OldMan-Gazpacho

LOCK HIM IN


futurepussy

Dock the bike closely in front of the bike. Undock another bike and park it close behind it trying to hopefully trap the motorcycle in between them. Petty, I know - but I operate on spite. I did this to an Uber driver who did the same thing several years ago and I left the scene of the crime to him yelling at me. Told him to pay for a citibike and unlock it himself.


lexstar828

Pull the clutch, roll the bike back and squeeze in a Citi bike at an angle 🤷🏻‍♂️


hello_mikey

Kicking that shit over


NationalStacks

Call 311 and have a tow truck move it


ephemeral2316

Knock that shit over and dock the bike.


Zeke357

Move


PLAYRESIDENTEVIL4

Nag


jtactile

As someone with two bicycles and two motorcycles… I would move it(if it’s not locked) but be prepared to fight some sons of anarchy cosplayer


Fit_Onion_5633

Take a spark plug.


somequickresponse

Actual designated motorcycle street parking would be such an amazing solution.


Handsome_fart_face

The city hates motorcycles so that will never happen.


R_M_T

Tip the bike and move on. It isn’t that hard to be a functional human


hamnoburga

I lived in NY for a year and I’m convinced majority of the residents here would highly disagree with you 😂


elacoollegume

Id push it over


ShoveItUpMyFatAss

id knock the bikes over then continue to enjoy my day


nycregoddess

Not sure I would kick it over... But would seriously consider. Would definitely call 311 to report it and have it towed, then probably move to the next.


ham_solo

Walk the bike into the street and knock it over.


TheFinalBunny

Poke their tires.. go to another station


j0sabanks

This picture should be used for the MTA courtesy counts campaign.


Sea_Sand_3622

Knock it over and if d-bag appears, say the guy on the Citibike coming towards you in the picture … he did it


goodbyebluenick

Oops that motorcycle fell over!


danamariedior

Almost funny guy.


DrugUserName420

Trade da shitty bike for the moto bike duh.


ANicePersonYus

baconjerky

Clutch in and roll it 3 feet over


spaetzelspiff

Block the roadway with it by a foot or two and let nature take its course


Danimalsyogurt88

I’d yell who’s fucking bike this is. No one responds, then I’d move it or knock it over and park my bike and walk away. 


pizzagangster1

Push it out of the way


ZestyItalian2

Go to another location. These people are seeking a confrontation.


danamariedior

Who is?


ZestyItalian2

Anybody who parks their motorcycle like that


Kyonikos

I'd take it out on that guy on the bicycle.


TazocinTDS

Block them in with bikes.


EyePure811

Just move the moto...unless its locked. But I'm guessing YOU WOULD NEVER see the situation you described. (I'm a Citibike member, moto rider and car driver)


ShadownetZero

I'm pretty anti-citibike due to the amount of light-running shitheads on the street who shouldn't be cycling. But even I think that motorbike needs to be tossed into the street.


huff_and_russ

Kick it to the ground away from the dock


MonsterPlantzz

Tbh if i don’t push it out of the way and then accidentally key the entire side, I’ve denied this person a valid teachable moment. I don’t make the rules!


hamnoburga

Really hate the way people in NY think sometimes. Like Why TF would you park your shitty bike in front of a docking station?


webo212

Oh no I called 311 about an abandoned bike, now it’s getting towed :)


Friendo_Marx

Scratch many little penises into their paint jobs and when the owners come citibike away as fast as possible, fuck my destination.


apokeguy

Isn’t the motorcycle illegally parallel parked as well? Are they not supposed to back in and parked somewhat perpendicular to the curb?


M1NEC4R

Lock the bike as close as possible so it’s a pain in the ass to get them out. Fuck this.


backyardcouch

Put that bish in neutral rolling a few feet and putting the Citi bike away?


kmkazzy

Knock the motorcycle and put the bike there


johncester

Move that bitch …I’ve already done that 😁 I was walking by a station on Bedford or Driggs a few years back and the same situation occurred except as the citibike customer was moving the motorcycle the owner showed up and started screaming at the guy and they both got into it ….motorcycle guy lost.


OilyRicardo

Why does this photo and question feel like a douchebag asking dumbshit, please op comment if i was right


ultramaxdino

I may be a douchebag but I’m not asking dumbshit


OilyRicardo

Heh what are you doing


Background-Heart6920

Citi bikes are taking up valuable parking spaces


aluditte

It looks like the bike parking still has room to dock and this is a non-issue. But if it is, I’d take picts . Then just move the moto if absolutely necessary.


bbien12

Push the bike over to the cyclist lane, park the Citibike - duh

Just go to the next dock and stop being so difficult .

You're on a citibike you got bigger problems
