On Your way to work, why not rob a bank
For all you nay sayers, (Chipcom), there is at least one reason to wear a helmet.

See that is the sort of thing that gives all cyclists a bad name.
"Officer I only hit him because I thought he was a bank robber."

Yea, I wound it up to 400 watts and dropped him between the bank and the savings and loan. He's a Fred.

So the tellers actually handed him the money? I think I'd just bust out laughing and call him a fred or something.

If I was a teller I wouldn't have even acknowledged him. Full-fingered gloves and a Nike running shirt? Fred.

I remember when he knocked off the Rockland Trust nearby. The story was that his getaway
vehicle was MTB. If somebody started doing copy cat until he got caught....just wondering.

The article says he's between 5'8" and 6' tall. You think you could know his height almost exactly on that first picture when he's standing by the window.

Hi. I'm new to the forums and just wondering: what would be the best waterproof pannier for carrying approximately $10,000 in small bills? I'm looking for something light and non-reflective.

Gugasian often used a bike, but he's still locked up. Why the tellers didn't push the alarm when the guy walked in wearing his helmet I don't know.

Though I know off a guy who rides a motorcycle and has all black gear (pants, jacket, helmet with a dark visor). He went into a bank once with his school bag on his back and after he enters the bank, he suddenly finds himself on the floor. Second later he sees the security guard standing above him.
