We know it's hard to take a stroller on the subway, but we've never seen this before!
Reader Kate sent us these pictures of a baby stroller chained to a bike rack in Williamsburg. We're not sure what happens to the baby once the stroller in chained up (baby is Bjorned? or maybe the baby walks?), but we can't wait to see whether the parents demand stroller parking lots from the Department of Transportation.

hipsters are losers. plain and simple. geeks.
Thats a Maclaren, you childless hag.
this morning on bedford ave (i work in Williamsburg) there was a lady sitting on a bench in front of s&b's breastfeeding. a tad inappropriate.
Hey, don't call me a childless hag just because I haven't been tempted to chain my stroller for my cats!
wow, people have children.
the subway system need to be made more stroller accessible
all proceeds from congestionpricing should go towards this initiative
Even American Psycho Patrick Bateman has spawned children and moved to Brooklyn. That's not a stroller, "Thats [sic] a Maclaren." The end is nigh people.

hahaha... or toward abortions.
Fuck strollers.
what's a fuck stroller?
sounds like fun
OMFG hipsters chain stroller to bikes. SHOCKING! What's with all these lame Gothamist articles lately?
If the owner did this so as not to drag it onto the subway during rush hour, kudos to him/her.
Every time I see parents jockeying for position with their stroller during the morning crush, rolling their eyes in incredulity that the world doesn't belong to them, it makes me want to vomit on them and their yuppie larvae.
Childless hag????
And you are responsible for another life????
I could deal with hipsters raising hipsters... I... guess...
But haters raising haters? Sad. Not cool, Mom and Dad.
Here is why this makes sense: You live several blocks from the subway but need to take the kid somewhere quickly. If you walk the kid, it will take 4 times as long because kids don't walk quickly or in a straight line. So you stroll rapidly to the stop, then pop the kid out and walk down to the subway. It probably saves a lot of time.
I know people who have just had children. The first month is all joy and happiness and then a sense of dread and miserableness just starts to pervade everything. You had all the time in the world to do whatever you wanted and now you wake up at 4 in the morning to clean poop and rock a baby to sleep. sad.
I thought that too #15 until I actually had a son. Try it.
Well, after seeing a Wheelchair chained to a subway entrance, nothing surprises me...
;)
#2 needs to relax...
If the owner did this so as not to drag it onto the subway during rush hour, kudos to him/her.
agreed, completely. the other evening there was a woman with her giant buggy on the train during rush hour, and the thing was so big it blocked off an empty, usable seat.
at least the "hipster" moms I've seen don't use ridiculously big strollers, and can break their down in an instant with one hand.
kudos #16
#3... inappropriate to feed your child outside?
The suburbs are plenty stroller accessible. People with strollers should move to them.
Could someone please enlighten me regarding comment #2's antagonism? Is a Maclaren not a stroller? Is it so special that it's insulting to not refer to it by it's proper name? I mean, it's not like Jen was wrong for not specifically naming it, or was she? Sorry, I don't know, I'm a childless hag too.
22, it's because #2 is one of those annoying superficial parents described in detail in the Times article a few weeks back. Probably lives in the Slope, and does exactly what #12 described in his comment
#2, sorry your body hasn't bounced back after the baby and that your children are eating your dreams.
#23 wins this thread!
I put roller skates on my baby and just drag him along. He seems to like. I dunno though. He can't talk yet.
i'm thining about what #15 wrote, i think people that decide on having children had it coming - what did you expect ! haha.
yeah #23 , sharp and crisp
:lal: at the hipster hate on a predominantly "hipster" website.
Where's that undercover detective from Sixth Street in the East Village who decided to steal all the bikes that were legally locked up (including those chained to the city-installed bike locks)? Maybe he'd like a crack at stealing all these stroller too.
However, I fail to see what's surpising about a stroller locked up. I mean, this is NYC, and people will steal ANYTHING that isn't locked up.
