if you ever go to bowe street, you'll see an old, HUGE blue centurion. that's my current ride until my new wheels come in. it's mid-conversion right now.
after christmas, i'll be riding a brand new green kilo.

I'm embarrassed to be from VCU right now. I just got out of a lecture by Col. DiSalvo and it was a disgrace. An academic briefing and all people could do was yell at him the whole time about the war in Iraq.
My bike is in my sig! I'm one of like 2 battleship grey pistas around here.
I dont have a brake anymore because I broke my lever so I switched down to 46x16 gearing instead of 48. Not a huge difference but it helps at all the stop lights.

You might see me on the red conversion. Fixed with 38c tires and gary bars. Or I might be on the fixed blue beach cruiser with 700c wheels and BMX bars.

straws... wtf? i don't think i'd ever post where i left my bike for extended periods of time and how i locked it up on a public forum. i suggest people in this thread use a less public way of divulging this information before someone takes all your bikes and you all have to find a new way to hang out together.

In Straw's defense, where he is talking about is in the middle of a pedestrian plaza lined with bike racks. There are seriously about 150 bikes or more locked up there during the day. At least thirty or so desireable hipster bikes, and most not locked up as well as his.
But caution never hurt anyone

Plus I keep coming and going all day. I lock up like 5 times a day.
and seriously, there are much nicer bikes held on with the tiny cables and combination locks. I'm not all that worried.

Yeah, the Compass is a pretty safe place, with Shafer being there and the constant foot traffic throughout the day.
I leave my beater locked up for days on the bike racks to the side of Johnson, and it hasn't been touched.

You don't have to run faster than the bear, you have to run faster than your buddy.
Seriously, if your bike looks rattier than the guy's bike next to you, or have it locked better, your bike is less likely to be stolen. Your's doesn't have to be unstealable, just harder than the next guys.
Seriously though, is bike theft a big problem in the fan? None of my bikes are that desireable, and most of my friends keep their bikes inside.
