Another example of a human job replaced by a robot.

Shit, you're right.
Soon they'll create a legion of bots to replace the gangs of grandpas that roam the city relocating our improperly parked bicycles.

But I doubt they'll have thweet !

Why go through the hassle. We all know no one steals bikes in Tokyo. *cough*

Yes they do get stolen, actually

The old men with nothing left to live for who drive around in tiny wind-up trucks steal most of the bikes in Tokyo.

But, they give you a map to where they are hiding the cities bikes, and for $30 you can be allowed into their barbed-wired premises to retrieve your bicycle from some other old men who also have nothing left to live for... nothing to live for, except their fading memories and the kind of cheap thrills that thirty bucks can buy you

Old Japanese men with nothing left to live for, or a drunk American named Jared, same difference
