Foo - I'm doin' the Happy Dance right now!!

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o286/Flycrow/estaticjoy.gif


There's a lady that works at the other end of my location. I don't know her too well but I noticed she would ride her bike to work and lock it up outside. I warned her that someone is going to take it but she said there was no where else to put it.

Well one day someone took her saddle. Her husband got her a new one. The next day someone put their cigarette out on it and burned a big hole in it. She was pretty bummed about it. A few days later, I noticed that she was in the building but her bike wasn't outside. When I asked about it, she said the someone stole it and now she is walking to work. The look on her face broke my heart. Especially when she said how much she loved that bike.

It's been a few months of searching but look what I'm gonna surprise her with. :D :D :D

There are a couple of spokes broken in the rear but I called her husband and he said he would take it in to get new spokes for it.

She's gonna be hella surprised when she finds this INSIDE the building with a card on it saying "Happy Riding" over by her operations area. :lol:

Wow, Siu, what a cool thing to do!!

see? there are good people in the world amidst all the inconsiderate ones. :thumb:

Awwwwwwwwwww....How sweet. Just as I would expect from you. :)

You're awesome, Siu! :D :beer:

yay, Siu! You rock!

Siu, the world is a better place because of people like you. Good karma will come your way. Hopefully the lady who got the bike will get the chance to pay it forward to someone else.
:thumb:

That's awesome, Siu- what a wonderful thing to do! +100000 to what Cbad said.

Respect.

Thanks everyone but to be honest with you, I'm "paying forward" to someone else because of everything I've gotten from all of you here. What I was given was not only cycling related but mostly the friendships I have formed and meeting many of you in person.

The love of cycling is what brought me here, to the point where I am now. And if she can get back into cycling and have a love for it like we all do then that gives me joy.

I'm only giving back what I was given.

Are you dancing to this?

You are the karma chameleon!!!!!!

A very nice gesture Sui.

hehehehehe, I need to surprise someone one of these days...

East Hill

what? You bought a brand new bike for someone you don't know all that well?

I just realised I'm a bad person because not in a million years would I have thought of doing that. You've raised the bar for being good too high! Give the rest of us a chance.

having the compassion and love that you do Siu, is a trait that is so integral to humanity...my only hope is that it rubs off on more people.:thumb::):love:.........good on ya!

Sweet..

I thought this thread was about getting some. <slinks away>

Siu, you've paid it forward many times; I hope there's more good coming at ya...

Siu rawks! :beer:

Doesn't it feel awesome to help people out like that? I'm so glad that I live in a world with people like you.

wow :)

I nominate Sui for the Foo Roberto Clemente award. Will anyone second it?

Awww! That's such a great thing to do for sad cyclist! You're so kewl, Siu!! :cheers:

Very nice!

Did I mention that someone just stole my car? :D

And that right there is why Siu is loved by all:love:

Nice!

That's really great. I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

:thumb: three cheers for Siu!

Siu is the bomb.

That is so cool. You rock Siu.:thumb::cheers:

Thanks again everyone. It's really easy when it comes to bikes and understanding how it feels to lose one.

Here she is with her new bike. :) Heey. I think she's smashing that bow I put on it!! :lol:

I always say that there are really very few times that you can really feel good about yourself.

Soooooooo, how do you feel?

I'll bet it's like the first day of a marriage, the birth of your child, or the saving of a human life.

Really, really, cool - what you did.......

Very kind of you! Even moreso given the fact that you're not just giving someone a bicycle, you're giving her an efficient means to get to work.

That was sweet Siu. Hopefully she has a lock now too.

I feel great, Wanderer. I hope she is happy with it. :)

Lamplight, now she doesn't have to walk to work! :thumb:

Zorro, I am only passing on the wonderful gift of giving that you had given to me. ((hugs)) She had a cable lock but it was cut. She won't have to park it outside anymore. I had arranged with the appropriate people to let her park it in the locked gated storage area where we keep the pallets.

Sweet!

I feel great, Wanderer. I hope she is happy with it. :)

I love that passing it on thing :) .

But the best part is that you've made it so she can keep it safe!

East Hill

People like you give me the reassurance I need that some of humanity is not completely evil.

Ya know Siu, if I wernt married I'd ask you to marry me. What a great lady you are.

Excellent. I was missing some of the information, and I was hoping that the conditions were going to be better this time around. Should have known you had it covered. :thumb:

Hey stop the one-up-man-ship on marrying Siu, we here in Ca can only have one wife. Do you live in Utah? :):roflmao2::roflmao2:


Well I've talked to her TWICE on the phone and got to hear her dulcet voice, Nyah. :)

Steven

Siu...You truly do rock.

Now, as to that happy dance...

We're gonna need some video.
