Trek 1000 road bike, 58 cm Silver we had stolen from us in the last 3 days from our shed. It was a Christmas present that now we don't have. I am beyond sad and upset.
Dorothy,sorry to hear about the theft.I have a 58cm Cannondale that I can let you borrow until you find another bike. I'll even bring it to you today, just let me know.
Dorothy, Sorry to hear you had bad luck. I would check all the local pawn shops pretty quickly. Usually thieves don't want to ride a bike--they want money.
When i was a kid i had many bikes stolen. Thru not locking it up or whatever. it is a crappy feeling, whether you are an adult or not. It is why i got into cycling in the first place. it was something a not-very-athletic person could do. while other kids could do school sports, i wasn't suited for them.
I feel your pain, dont let it get you down.
Dorothy - Get another bike. Put in back in the garage. Leave the door open a little. Me, Deputy Drye, Colonel Corley and the Forrest Rangers'll hide up in the rafters and nap the varmints (never to be seen agin) when they return to the scene of the crime.
