So cliche, but when I first stumbled upon this story on social media this morning, I actually said out loud, and this is why we can't have nice things.

It is disheartening to constantly hear about/read about/experience theft and destruction of things that are legitimately only there to make our lives easier - this is another one of those stories.

Rail Trail 'Feature' Stolen In Ulster County

Bike repair stations are not an entirely new concept on NY rail trails, but this one in particular was part of a service project by a local Boy Scout Troop, and over the weekend, was stolen from the Commercial Avenue (Highland) area of the rail trail.

The bike repair stations include a stand to lift a bike off the ground for easier repair, and then have assorted tools to address alignment or similar issues, and also have pumps to take care of tires that require air.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Town of Lloyd Police at 845.691.6102, located at 25 Milton Avenue in Highland.
