I've long thought that a bicycle would make an excellent getaway vehicle. Nobody looks at cyclists.

Not that I've seriously considered committing a serious crime or anything. Perish the very thought.

As for the story in the OP; I guess high gas prices are effecting all parts of society. Maybe they could cut down on shootings by raising the price of bullets.
