After unlocking my bike from the transformer cage at the Amtrak Station (photo), I realized that there must be a bunch of places in Ann Arbor that need bike parking.

Here is an editable Google map — anyone can add points. Once we have a couple contributions, this might be info that getDowntown can use.

WBWC, getDowntown: Bike Parts Thief on the Prowl

The recent rash of thefts are not of bikes (a risk mitigated by a nice lock) but of easily removable parts. Lights, bells, anything else you don’t have locked down:

Just an FYI. I was parked at the bike racks in the Washington Street parking structure on Sunday (across from Arbor Brewing Company) for a few hours and somebody stole my headlight, tail light, and bell.
