Billyburg bike bandits strike again
On Sunday, the New York Times City section ran a story called "The Bicycle Thief: It's Not Who You Think." It went like this: On Wednesday, 28-year-old graphic designer Miao Wang rode her bicycle 12 blocks from her apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to the Bedford Avenue L subway station.
