(TJV) The able-bodied 17-year-old West African immigrant who tried to claim a pregnant white woman stole his bike admitted in an interview with a sympathetic news outlet that he was gaming NYC’s City Bike system in order to ride the bike for hours for free.

A high school senior who claimed his Citibike was stolen by a pregnant hospital worker in a now viral video says he rode the same bike from the Bronx and was redocking it briefly to avoid higher fees.

EN-VOlVE Pointed out:

The teen, who is only being identified as “Michael,” told Newsone he had already ridden the bike for 45 minutes — which is the limit for SNAP welfare recipients to ride the bike for free at which point additional fees of $0.17/minute or $0.23/minute for an ebike kick in — but by redocking the bike and waiting around he could reset the counter and take it out again for free.

Daily Mail Summarized:

Speaking to Newsone(LINK), the teenager known only as Michael, has said that he due to higher fees after using CitiBike for over 45 minutes he had docked his bike to reset the clock moments and was standing by the bike before his exchange with Sarah Comrie, 36.

Comrie’s lawyer claims that her receipts prove she had booked the bike at 7:24pm, and that she was physically pushed into the docking station to block her from taking it at 7:25pm.

Michael’s receipts don’t dispute she had booked the bike. He had pulled up to the hospital docking station at 7:19pm and locked the bike in for five minutes before Comrie appeared.

But he claims the fact he was standing by the bike before intending to book it out again makes him the ‘rightful owner’ at the time Comrie booked it.

Due to his family receiving benefits, he gets a discount on Citi Bike rides but after 45 minutes the rate on the bikes increases.

In order to avoid the high charge he frequently stops his rides and resets the clock by re-docking the bike.

The media and far left racist social media influencers instsantly demonized the innocent woman , attempting to make the entire situation a racial one, to ignite the public.
