Wheel World: Bike thieves steal more than wheels
22.05.12
We had a break-in this week. Our parkade was targeted. Some scumbag thief sawed through the bike rack and made off with our neighbour's bike, an event that brought back painful memories of past bike thefts.
For dedicated cyclists, bikes aren't just another piece of gear or transport mechanism. Each bike is completely unique and comes with its own set of memories and stories. I've struggled with this each time I've had a bike stolen: the Rocky Mountain Soul that got me riding for fun again after years away from bikes; the Vapor that took me to every library branch in the city on a fundraising ride for an injured co-worker.However, the loss of the third bike is the one that really stands out.
