Portland Bike Theft Experiment

Bike Theft

Via: C.I.C.L.E.

To find out whether Portlanders are good Samaritans when it comes to bike theft, we sent 22-year-old WW intern Josh Silverman out to Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Park Blocks, Portland State University’s campus, Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard and PGE Park last week armed with several lengths of link chain, a padlock, a pair of bright red 24-inch bolt cutters and instructions to “steal” his own bike. We filmed the whole thing.

Check out the video here.

This guy even gets bystanders to help him cut the chains.
