Wow.

Via Wired News.

Though they'd never seen him use the bike, the police arrested Kinberg on
criminal mischief charges prior to the convention start, during an
interview on Broadway Avenue with MSNBC's Ron Reagan. The arrest took place
on a spot where, two days earlier, Kinberg had printed out the
water-soluble message, "America is a free speech zone" during an interview
with MSNBC's Countdown With Keith Olbermann.

During his 24 hours in lockup, his bike was inspected and praised by
bomb-squad technicians, while detectives traded Polaroids of his creation
and members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force questioned whether he knew
violent protesters. Kinberg's charges were later dropped, on the condition
he not get arrested again for six months.

It wasn't until December of last year that Kinberg learned his arrest was
less spontaneous than it appeared.
