I had a guy following me on mine for blocks and blocks last spring, taking photos of the bike. i don't think he was a thief, he seemed a bit off, ly'know? I wanted to call the cops but what the hell can I complain about, some guy riding his bike along the street with me? So, I rode up to a police station, shouldered it and walked in the front door like I belonged there. Doesn't hurt that I look like a cop. Never saw him again but it was eerie.
