That may be but this is a set shot. The tire is flat. The cable is so short and tight, the bike would have to have been up against the sign, with it's rear tire on the curb, preposterous. Besides, that's pretty small cable and could be easily cut, much easier in fact, than it would be to dismantle and load a bike (a heavy cruiser at that, judging by the rim) sans a rear tire. If you have the tools, time and man power to do all that, surely you could get through a 3/8'' cable. I have a battery operated saws all that will cut that in 30 seconds, no problem. Shit, a hacksaw will do it in less than 5 minutes.
