Rode off on a citibike too sicko-biker

There was a biking bank robber that was quite successful for a while, apparently riding a bike makes you pretty much invisible in a city.

    Based on how well executed this seems to be, I doubt the shooter used any traceable payments or anything, but time will tell.

    Not only that but the shooting was at what like 6:45 am est? Dudes obviously not on the bike anymore and if they were confident enough with the metadata associated with the citibike they would have released his full name by now.

    shit you got more on that? I always wondered whether a bicycle would make a good getaway vehicle on accounts of cops are too carbrained to understand how it can move or how to even tell them apart.

    An e bike that can hit 15-20 mph with in a few pedals is probably the best escape vehicle in a city.

    What I'm learning here is if you don't do it on a bright orange custom frame with a 50 units / year production line you could basically do this forever

    notes: do not conduct heists on a rare pinarello race bike

    Pinarellos definitely aren't 50 units / year rare so I say DO conduct heists on a pinarello race bike so that after the cops cleared the first hurdle (understanding what a bicycle is) they're gonna look for dentists only
