cycling and spandex is metal!
by RobbieTom LeCarner, a fellow VeloNews employee spotted my bike on Pearl Street tonight. The bike was leaned against a bathroom entrance while a guy stood next to it.
Tom asked, "Is this your bike?"
and the guy said, "no."
And then Tom said, "Well I know who it belongs to." At that moment he took it from the wall and rolled it back to his car.
Once he started driving he gave me a call, best damn call this year.
He dropped it off shortly after. The seat was dropped all the way down to the frame. There are a few new scratches in the paint and through the stickers, but that is trivial in comparison to the joy I felt upon seeing my bike again.
Lesson learned: Don't leave your bike unlocked anywhere, ever. And, if it still manages to get stolen, spread the word to as many people as you can, because maybe, just maybe, it might be spotted as mine was.
