How to steal a bike in NYC

Doesn’t matter that it’s NYC. I’ve had a bike stolen in a small town in southern Ontario, and two bikes and two very expensive wheels (with dura ace track hubs) stolen in Toronto. Bike thieves are universal because people are universally apathetic.

Just casually stealing others property, Nice!

I’ve seen this video a few times. The Neistat Brothers do a lot of cool things. My personal favorite is the Goldfish video. It might be a little cruel to watch but in the end everything is okay.
P.S. I tried it. It didn’t work.

I live in a city and I’ve intervened when people are attacking others, stealing property and being anti-social. I’ve also been stabbed, beaten by a gang of 50, kidnapped and… it goes on. These days, when I see things happening so long as it isn’t my self or my objects they’re happening to – I let it slide. I’m lucky I’m not dead – there are plenty of hero’s who are and you have to consider – would they help you? Naw… it’s just not worth it.

i would think no one actually rides a bike in NYC other than college kids…and maybe a handful of others…

It just goes to show, if you act confident and pretend like you’re supposed to be doing whatever it is you’re doing, very few people, including the police, will question you.

This is Right, if you look at the video this guy doesnt seem to steal that bike, it just look as if it was his own bike.

Yes he does look confident and it does a difference. The scene where he steal the bike with the power tools is ridicoulus because he’s wearing safety glasses, hear protection and safety gloves… Damn!! For me that guy just look like a blue colar working for the city and trying to remove the bike from that place cause he would have to repair the Lampost!!! This was calculated.
