Happy Earth Day: NYPD Removes "Hundreds of Bikes" on Houston
Presumably worried that of the many bicycles lining President Obama’s path to Cooper Union on Houston Avenue this morning one may contain a pipe bomb, NYPD police officers removed “hundreds of bikes”, piled them deep onto the back of a flatbed truck and shipped ‘em far, far away.
One bystander posted a photo and tweeted, “This is a truck full of bikes that were sawed off every lampost and bike rack on houston street bc obama is coming.”
Another wrote, “Running late to work watching nypd cut bike locks along obamas route on Houston St.”
So where are these bikes now? Is every lucky little son and daughter of a police officer in the city getting a new bike for Earth Day? We’ll update if we hear how and where you can find your lost stolen bike. Gothamist put a call in, because they are responsible bloggers, but yes, happy planet day from the NYPD!

If your bike’s lock got cut for obama’s ride. They’re on Delancey btwn Pitt &ridge. They said they won’t be here long.
