The Inevitable Sadness...

of getting you bike stolen.

Yes. It happened to me. Last night in Shaw-Petworth.

Ordering Chinese food, after an alleycat, on my way to the Metro.

I just took my off of it for 30 seconds. It's all it takes.

Should of known better. I do know better.

Fracking DUMB-ASS!!!

Anyhoo, if you see a crackhead on a Mazda-red steel road bike with Aksium wheels, crack his fracking head open with your bike lock and leave him in the middle of the street to get run over on it!

All Bike Thieves Must Fracking DIE!!!

On my way to bike shop to get a new bike.

That truly sucks

Sorry to hear it. There must be low lifes just standing around waiting for an opportunity like that. It could happen to anyone so don’t be too hard on yourself. Some of these low lifes are pros at it. They pickpocket people all the time too with all kinds of distraction techniques.

I know your bike

and I’m in that area fairly often. I’ll be looking out…

by rocketpress on Oct 19, 2008 3:38 PM EDT   0 recs

Whats up!

Cool.

If some one offers it you, offer him a $100.00 (if you got it on you) and I’ll give it back to you!

If not call me! I’ll come right over.

Not worth the confrontation- it was my fault, it’s his job. Not being a victim with Stockholm syndrome, but a realist who knows that is how the street works!!!

"Hey where'd you get that bike?"

usually gets a drop and run… I’ll let you know if I see/get it—I’m a lover not a fighter.

by rocketpress on Oct 19, 2008 6:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

But RocketPress is a fighter too...

… so don’t get any ideas ;)

Dang

I wonder if it’s the same guy riding around on a straight-bar chopped up 1985 Bianchi Alloro. Asshole(s).

Just did 20 miles along Beach Dr.

Gotta go back to Performance and get a shorter beefier stem, some 25mm tires (instead of the 23’s on it) and some black bar tape to replace the white tape on it now!

Thank God for the 10% back you get being a Team Performance member. Won’t cost me another dime!

I am sorry about your bike.
I liked your bike, expecially the mazda red paint job . It would be easy to spot just based on that color.

: 0

(Horrified at loss of very personalized bikey)

But yeah, that red? No need to look twice.

Hey, everyone in DC—carry a spare lock so you can double-lock it when you find it locked up somewhere.

by JFS_PGH on Oct 20, 2008 1:34 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That truly blows...

nothing but sympathy for you DC.

Thanks CrashDan!

The new bike is quite beautiful and once I get the few bits needed, it will be fantastic.

However, it’s like losing the perfect wife and getting married again.

i didn’t want to!

I've had both cars I've owned broken into...

… some dipshit threw a baseball at the gas tank of my SV650 four years ago, and another one keyed the top of the gas tank of my Triumph two years ago. Asshats all of them.

Dude - the new rig is very sublime

I dig that color scheme.

Is Michael Ball in the house?

I need some RR schwag!

Douchebags

Sorry, man. You know about the pawn shop down 14th street, right? Always dealing in stolen bikes (google 14th street dc stolen bikes, if not). Watch them and craigslist. And if I see your bike, you can be sure that the u-lock will emerge.*

*On matters of property theft, I usually don’t give a shit. It’s just stuff. Steal my car? Eh. It’s just a car. Touch my bike? I will visit the sins of the father on your children, if need be.

On 14th

is that the place that sells bikes and porn?

That's a good slogan...

Sorry to read about your bike DC.

But on a bright side (as we look for one), the new one sounds fantastic.
