Bikes not safe at CTA bike barn

One biker is missing a lot of parts.

Six security camera's
can't foil the bike part thief.

Beware cyclists. If you park your bike at the CTA bike barn on the north-side of the Morse Avenue CTA Redline, there's a good chance it'll start losing bike parts like this poor cyclist in the photo above did. And this isn't the first bike to lose parts. Other's before this have had the same experience happen to them.

This crime happens even as there are six security camera's that monitor the bike barn and CTA Lunt entrance/exit. Not to mention a not-so security fence that enables the bike thief to operate with extra cover.

It's no wonder this bike barn is so underutilized. It's just not safe. There's no one who monitor's the area. Just this past week someone kidnapped the $4000.00 Big Belly solar-paneled waste receptacle. It's still missing.
