Today on the way home from work I saw a man riding a bicycle one-handed.  He was holding the left side of the handlebars, which had two plastic bags of groceries slung over it makingit difficult if not impossible to stop suddenly.

In his right arm–in the crook of his elbow, pressed against his side, legs dangling–he held a toddler.

I’m not sure if it was desperate need, mischief, or harassment, but I hope the thief finds the seat as uncomfortable as I did.
