My Bicycle went missing today

[spacemonkeygrrl]

Much to my dismay, my bicycle was impounded today. I saw the sign out in front of the veterinary building at Taida, but all I could read was "bicycle," and not the "do not park your bicycle here." Having left my bicycle numerous times out front in the past few months, I didn't think it would be illegal, but I guess Taida is a little strict in this regards. If you don't place your bike exactly behind the required lines, they put your bike on a truck and take it to the "bike pound." When I discovered the empty spot where I had parked with the Chinese words written in chalk, I went to go ask my lab-mate for help. She came down and read the words to me and told me what had happened. We then went online and found the bike website. Apparently, they take a picture of bikes that are impounded and post it on their website. Here is mine.



Oh, my poor rusty, purple bike. Tomorrow I will go retrieve the "Shammy" (as Carlos has so kindly named).
