At risk
WHAT’S AN INOPERABLE BIKE?
Inoperable bikes are those that are missing a critical component to work, like a wheel or handlebars (inoperable bikes are often called dead bikes). Often, these bikes are picked for parts over time so that only the frame remains. They’re eyesores and take up parking spaces that perfectly good bikes could use.
Under the ordinance, police can remove these inoperable bikes that are locked to City property after 72 hours.

Keep an eye out for the horses this Saturday
From the Fan District Association:
