With a gazillion miles of bicycle trails,Long Beach promotes itself as being
Bicycle Friendly
Throughout the city,
artfully designed posts
bolted to sidewalks
(such as this one) ➨
present many places
to securely lock up
bicycles
However,
the bike-happy promotion
is contrary to the sad truth:
bicycle theft in Long Beach
happens with profound frequency
The city should promote itself as being
Bicycle Theft Friendly
If you can find an adult bicyclist
in Long Beach who has never had
a bike stolen then he or she
is probably attending
the DBEA convention
DBEA stand for
Dubious Bicycle Exporters Association
four months ago
It probably can be found
somewhere in the streets
of Asia or Malaysia
somewhere in the streets
of Asia or Malaysia
Bicycle theft is big business
in Long Beach, even bigger
than legal marajuana
