Security guard Tausolia Semifua was just starting his Monday morning shift when he came across a man with a bike in front of the Walmart on Keeamoku Street.

“I was like, ‘Excuse me sir. Is that a Biki bike?’ He’s all like, ‘Yeah.’

“Why is it pitch black? Like, spray painted black. He looked at me and goes, ‘I don’t know. I rented it like that,'” explained Semifua.

Semifua was skeptical. He took a long look at the spray-painted bicycle, noticing the tell-tale signs it was a Biki.

“You got a little cart in the front, and the lights. Like, sir, honestly? You’re going to try and get away with that? No, it’s not going to happen.”

The security guard confiscated the bike. Semifua noticed the registration sticker, which all bikes on Oahu must have, was scratched off. He suggested calling the police to double-check the owner of the bicycle.

“Right when I said police, that was like key phrase. He was like ‘Oh no, I got to get out of here. He left,” explained Semifua.

The man left empty-handed, but not without saying his piece.

“As he was leaving, he was swearing, all this profanity. He said, when he was yelling: ‘I go all the way to Waikiki! How am I gonna get there?!’ I yelled out: ‘Walk! That’s what your feet are for!”

Semifua took the blacked-out Biki to a docking station on Makaloa Street, and called Biki’s customer service.

“Rest in peace to that bike. No longer in use,” said Semifua.
