While I don't condone vandalism, these bikes appeared overnight all over the neighborhood with little warning, including that the hoi polloi would not be allowed to use the racks to lock up their own bikes. Biketown doesn't spread to much of the city that could use transportation but instead is concentrated in the neighborhoods already with good public transit and sidewalks. It's yet another "look how green and trendy we are" feather in Portland's cap while roads go unpaved and East Portland continues to be neglected.
