Feel the burn...

Seriously? 

Some poor kid lives just three blocks from one of the nicest parks in NYC and his/her parents decide that the best cycling option is a stationary bike?  No wonder this thing ended up on the street.

Note to unbelievably lame parents: buy your kiddo a real bike, yo.

The good life, Park(ing) Slope style...

Question: In measuring a foot from the curb when parking this hot rod, are kiddie or adult feet used?

In all fairness, this toy may not have been abandoned - perhaps the owner was just running errands.  I mean, look at the care that was put into parking the car - the wheels are perfectly angled to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward on start up.  Does that seem like something a dispassionate owner would do?

No, this must be some kid's beloved car - and a lucky kid at that.  First, I'm in my 30s and STILL don't own a car.  Second, anyone with a car in the neighborhood knows how hard it is to come by a parking space.  So how did this miniature a-hole with the smartest of all smart cars manage to snag such a piece of prime real estate?
