I walked outside this morning and the place where I parked my $600 Specialized RockHopper mountain bike last night was empty. Yes, it was locked, with a Kryptonite HardWire 1518 cable lock -- obviously not strong enough.
I guess that's why everyone in the city seems to be riding a road bike that looks as if its worth $20. Too bad this isn't a false alarm like last time. Maybe my recent injury was nature trying to tell me something.
*takes a deep breath*
Life is Good. 🙂
I have less stuff!
EDIT: Here is how simple it really is to steal a bike.
Think of all the places you can RUN to now. =)
It’s kinda like this Corporal from Scout Sniper Platoon, Cpl Pongo. I see him running EVERYWHERE, snipers run alot. To his job, to his room, to the PX, grocery store, to the chow hall.
When I see him run, I think, “wow, look at how much time he is saving. He gets daily exercise like that too. And look at this inefficiency of me just walking..”
So, his running motivated me to start running every-single-where. Much like your stolen bike motivating you to:
get a new one
walk
run
ride with friends.

P.S. I have to type in “ordinance perverts” for the ReCaptcha
Haha, nice ReCaptcha! 😀
I love running, but there are downsides. For one, working in the office all sweaty isn’t fun, so running to work in the morning isn’t quite an option. If there was a shower there, I’d run everyday!
Yeah… I guess it’s different for me, where I’m allowed to be sweaty at work.. actually, if I’m not covered in sweat all day at work, there’s something wrong with me.
Yea, that’s the kind of job I’d love. 🙂
