I find it hard to believe this many people would actually spend the time to write condolences to a random business they’ve “happened to notice” in the neighborhood. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that some of these comments were planted by the shop owners/friends. But yeah, vandalism is childish.

Haus? You mean the coffee-shop that MM posted about within the same hour of Mission Cycles? I see a pattern…

“self indulgent, vain…”

Sounds like the perfect way to describe the asshole that wrote that article/poster.

Really what they’re saying is _I_ deserve to have all the things _I_ want and, for fear of them being taken, _I_ will destroy the things of others. Because all that is important is that _I_ am satisfied and society reflects the values that _I_ hold.

It’s actually hilarious when you think about how much this guy is everything he ostensibly hates. Just look at how many times he uses “I” in that article.

um, really? does an independent bike shop in a neighborhood of rabid bicycle users need to be “defended”?

not precious enough of a flower for twee valencia street? not ascribing to your personal, narrow, selfish, judgmental values?

you know what’s boring? i think it’s obvious.

(and personally, i like lucky charms. magically delicious.).

i like captain crunch. ppl defending mission bikes think we can buy our way out of car culture, displacement, ecological disaster. an ikea-inspired bike shop is boring.

silly hipsters. it’s all been done before. look what you’ve done to what was once a thriving, creative neighborhood.

fighting over stupid vanity bikes, coffee shops and luxury food. self indulgent, vain consumer robots.

They not only destroyed the window, but such nice typography, too. I don’t care for fixies but I’m on Mission Bike’s side now.

Bastards!! Probably one of those gear-havin’ haters. JK. Just one of those middle school boobs who carry around sharpies on Muni, and don’t comprehend making a living or paying taxes yet. Let the posse know if we need to stage a bake sale to fund repairs, or punch out lettering again. Seriously.

I heart Mission Bikes…it’s a bummer that some people still can’t behave themselves…let alone realize that the Mission is changing (as is the rest of the world). Idiots.

The store celebrates riding bikes, which means less cars etc. You’d think in SF that it would be appreciated.

I don’t think it was vandalism, probably somebody on a fixie that couldn’t stop in time…
