sad news folks, my IF singlespeed was stolen from the back of my car last night. I'm away from home right now, but i got a call from my housemates with the bad news this morning. my car was parked behind my house in Mount Pleasant last night and someone smashed the rear window to get the bike. it looks like thats all they took.
please keep an eye out for this bike...

yeah but is it faster then my western flyer 10 sppeed with tassles?
First the broken clavicle, and now this? Sucks.
I don't know if this makes you feel any better, but a friend that lived in the same neighborhood had his bike stolen off the top of his car. He even got his letter of the account published in Dirt Rag.
Do you have a picture of the bike you can post? Also, you can ask around your 'hood and close by, offering a little cash to anyone that helps you. Might be good to take Gwadz with you though...
that does suck..
last time I retrieved a stolen bike I got home and called my friend feeling like a hero
turned out it was a different one of his bikes that had been stolen
in that case I morphed pretty quickly from ROBIN HOOD to BOYZ IN THE HOOD
I will keep my eyes open
that sucks!
that bike will stand out
a gwadzilla archive on that story

a couple years ago..i lost my dog on 13th and Euclid. I put up signs everywhere and told all the kids in the neighborhood that they would get a free playstation if they found my dog. 5 kids brought me 5 different dogs in less than a day. My dog found his way to some hot chick's house but I found him. Anyway, try buying the services of the kids in the hood. They see everything.
damn joe. you're having one hell of a year. sorry to hear about the IF. i posted this over on bikecentric. i like the idea of putting up flyers in the neighborhood offering free stuff for the person who finds the bike. if you want to take up a collection, say the word.
That totally sucks. There is nothing worse than a thief. I hope you find your bike, and then the guy who stole it so he can be stung up in the town sqare and...
Sorry i got carried away.

renter's insurance?
as I think that it is gone
if it wasn't in the bushes
if it wasn't in the park
well, the bike is trashed by now
you would be amazed at how a mistreated bike can age in a week
chipped paint
missing a grip
the pedals?
forget the pedals... those things are
sorry
guess I should respect your mourning period
I had my mountain bike race bike stolen a decade ago
they not only took the bike from my life
they took my race bike
I did not have enough mooney for another set of SPDs
much less a new bike
yes
bike theives are the lowest of the low
word to the dim
buying stolen goods rewards thieves
if people do not buy stolen goods
there will be less reason for the theieves to steal
supply and demand
put them out of business
