Rode off on a citibike too
There was a biking bank robber that was quite successful for a while, apparently riding a bike makes you pretty much invisible in a city.
saw some fucking nerd claiming he tracked the citibike, hope he's next
Based on how well executed this seems to be, I doubt the shooter used any traceable payments or anything, but time will tell.
Not only that but the shooting was at what like 6:45 am est? Dudes obviously not on the bike anymore and if they were confident enough with the metadata associated with the citibike they would have released his full name by now.
Lmao not sure if the same guy but that happened in my city. He was never caught.
The one I know of got caught eventually, but did 26 successful heists. https://www.welovecycling.com/wide/2019/10/24/this-olympic-hopeful-used-his-bike-to-rob-26-banks/
shit you got more on that? I always wondered whether a bicycle would make a good getaway vehicle on accounts of cops are too carbrained to understand how it can move or how to even tell them apart.
An e bike that can hit 15-20 mph with in a few pedals is probably the best escape vehicle in a city.
Fast, silent, and can move places cars can't.
No license plate, don't need to register it with the government, can buy used ones easily with cash.
Fun fact most ebikes have a governor on them that limits their top speed which can be bypassed by clipping a single wire.

eventually got caught though
What I'm learning here is if you don't do it on a bright orange custom frame with a 50 units / year production line you could basically do this forever
Indeed, with the rise of cheap and decent e-bikes, it seems pretty feasible with a bit of opsec and planning.
notes: do not conduct heists on a rare pinarello race bike
Pinarellos definitely aren't 50 units / year rare so I say DO conduct heists on a pinarello race bike so that after the cops cleared the first hurdle (understanding what a bicycle is) they're gonna look for dentists only
The Flying Pigeon PA-02 stays winning.
Maybe lower the amount of banks too.
