Seemed mostly on topic to me... At least as on topic as this board ever is...

There was a fixie with bullhorns that didn't move for two years on my commute. Now it's gone. I think the person that was riding it just didn't care about the rust and weather, and always parked the same way. I thought of liberating that bike, and now I think it's a good thing that I didn't. I wouldn't have worried about karma, because I've had every bike that I've ever owned has gotten stolen (up until this one, and that still might happen) since I learned to ride.
