The last thing Iwould do is endorse a Huffy. I had these visions of streets riddled with potholes and manholes, glass, etc. I didn't expose my sneaky plan to the others as I didn't want one member to copy me as he was known for that. Yes, the group was shocked when they discovered my choice of a clunker over all the worthy bikes I left at home and I purposefully didn't explain my reasons at first. They thought I had flipped. I had to suffer the horrible fit & lack of performance from it but the end did justify the means

I guess I sort of contributed to a bicycle theft but, is it theft if the owner intentionally abandons it? Maybe not. Can you imagine the thoughts of some bystanders blocks away witnessing that bike riding past them in busy downtown streets while it's plastered with "STOLEN" stickers?? The idea was so novel I received a club award at the annual party for "Most Outrageous Cycling Moment"

Could you envision a police officer trying to figure out the validity of such a situation? :confused:

Forgot to mention that the stickers could quickly peel off so the new owner may have wasted no time in doing this shortly after claiming his "find"!
