Ticketing bikes for being badass

Leanne Eisen, Toronto artist, was given a bicycle ticket. But not for what you think: someone gave a citation for having a "badass" and "unique" Dutch bike (given to her by her Oma). I'm willing to believe that the Urban Repair Squad has something to do with this.

Torontoist:

When photographic artist Leanne Eisen left the Scotiabank Theatre on Monday following a screening of Ponyo, she was surprised to find this piece of blue paper wrapped around the handlebars of her vintage bicycle. At first, she only saw the words, "Your bicycle has been ticketed because…"

Instead of an official citation issued for some sort of parking infraction, however, what she found on the ticket were charming compliments from an anonymous flâneur, who declared the chassis "badass" and "unique."
