Alvarado bike THIEFS

Beware the intersections of Alvarado and James Wood in the night. About a month ago two guys tried to steal my bike. Fortunately some cops stopped at the red light right next to us and yesterday again two guys almost took it if not for some bystanders that stepped in and helped me out.

Dude, that's terrible! I ride through that intersection at least twice a day, often really late at night. Could you tell if it was the same guys both times?
And here I thought this was going to be about Echo Park...

Nah, I was on the sidewalk (STUPID ME) and well its an uphill, coming home from work late at night and so they come out and say, " Hey nice bike, let me ride it" Off course I say no and begin to ride off to which point one gets aggressive and says hey didnt you hear my friend? Let him ride it... To which point some other bystanders step up and tell them to leave me alone. Lucky break I guess. Just gotta find another route...

@ijunes: feel ya man, i've been contemplating a beater commuter for some while now, but can't justify having so many bikes.
@adictpunk: wow, they had the audacity to do that.  i wonder what would've happened if you let one of them ride it.  what would the other friend do?  jog alongside?

What do you expect when you're riding by MacArthur park? Try riding through K-town. It's a little bit safer on that side!

Haha, I was about to defend myself too and draw a map out for you. I know I was right. It's all good.
Seriously though, lock your bike if you in that area...
