Bikes with Karma


I'll bet that some tourists think our city is just existing out of bikes as transport...
And they are right...
The bike here is transportation number 1!
Because having a car is hell.. not that i care cuz i dont have my driverlisence..

What can i tell...
WE rule the whole traffic..stopping for redlight.. whats that?
Lights on our bikes at night?...most people with bikes never heard of it..
We park our bikes everywhere.. ( if youre once in amsterdam pay attention on damsquare infront of the bijenkorf)
And helmets? hahaha thats for the amateurs, the tourists on those red MAC BIKES rental stuff..
The tourists are also the cause of the bikeroadrage.. yeah the bikeroadrage excists here in Amsterdam!
They rent a bike dont know how to drive dont pay attention to other users of the road.. too busy checking out the buildings and canals or the hookers behind the windows..
Trust me its very enoying to ride behind a big group of italians who take over the whole road...

Then there's another thing.. If you look good most bikes dont look brand new..
And yes thats right..
We have a sort of "Borrow" system.. A junkie steals it..( they are our dealers)
sells it for 5 or 10 euros and most of the time a week later your bike is stolen again..
Also main reason why people invest more in the locks than in the bike itself, because it really doesnt matter how it looks they will steal it anyways..
I do believe bikes have karma...

Reason #1: Bought once a bike for 5 euros of a junkie it got stolen a week after i bought it... infront of the supermarket..in 5 min.. ( ill bet by the same junkie)

Reason #2: Once i got a bike from nice people i thought..they where from chile then i found out they were pro-pinochet..( we all know his past isnt kosher).. 2 days after i found out... my bike was fucked up the breaks didnt work..

Reason #3: My brother bought me a bike... yeah from a junkie.. well this 1 lasted for 1 whole month then it got stolen out of my dadsgarden..

Well,if you still dont believe that bikes have karma,then i dont know how to confince you..
So now i want to buy a new bike no not from a junkie a real new 1..

I wonder how long that one will last with 10 locks?
