BOO urns to bike theifs
As an owner rider and avid cyclist it is bound to happen…but it does not make it less of a pain in the A**. It is like cycling bandits are just following you around waiting to pounce when ever possible.
Here is how they got me…It is hot and my doc is out of town and I needed to go to a doctors appointment across town with a different doctor. It was a rest day on the training so I figured I could spin down there (about an hour ride each way). So I put mu lock on my bike and my flip flops in my pocket and rolled down there. I found a bike rack in the middle of day light in front of a busy coffee shop on a busy corner among many other bikes at the university. I came back 45 min later from my appointment and the bike was gone. I get it…a nice bike can be dollar bills sitting on the street. But here is the thing…it was 2:30 in the afternoon, it was a busy street and it was locked up…who ever stole it had to be roaming around ready to steal a bike…and then had to be bold enough to steal it in front of everyone on the street in the middle of the day. Do people just not do anything? And if there is a person roaming around doing this in the middle of the day, traveling with a bike theft kit how is it that other people have not seen this person in action…
so I am down a bike…which is probably a little less of a problem for a guy like me than it would be for the average rider…still hard to stomach….and lame.
