Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

please help stolen bike

ok not so much fixed related but if i post it somewhere else they will just call me troll.

08/01/06 okay, so we got a couple bikes stolen this weekend. yeah, lame. anyway, we're looking to get one of them back through y'all. the other one was covered by some home owners insurance, so it's all square. we're looking for someone who has a fuji cambridge that's just kinda sitting around without anyone riding it. if you have one in your garage or know someone who doesn't ride theirs anymore we'd love to aquire it from you. from what i hear they don't make it any more and the rider of the stolen cambridge had quite an attatchment to it. we'll hook you up with some dough and much respect for a helping hand. if you have any questions or can help us out with this just email cole@1lesscar.com.

mods feel free to move if you have to.

I don't get it. You just want to replace the stolen bike with the same kind? And pay for it? Why not take the opportunity to try a new model if you're going to buy something?

You vigilante! How could you put a bike before a man! Think about it, that thief is going to have to walk home!

Kickstand is when you see your stolen bike and kick the person riding it off then stand over them to do more damage.
