Places not to leave your bicycle
#173: Under the railway overpass way off to the side of Centraal Station.
Not that I normally would, only the back tyre sprung a leak during a thunderstorm, and that was the closest place I could lock it up under shelter.
And not that it got stolen, either. Instead, some klootzak slashed the seat and both tyres open with a knife. The seat I can tape up, the tyres are gonna cost to replace.
I’ve been saying for about a week now I should pick it up and fix that back tyre. There’s a lesson about procrastination somewhere in there.

It certainly isn't an inviting place to leave your bicycle, or to be for that matter. Recently I find myself using the guarded bike storage facilities found near most stations.
Yeah, this was sort of a once-off shelter-from-the-storm situation. But I've learned from it, believe me...
