Or better yet, give them a squirt gun. You'll have to wear something slinky and gyrate your buttocks fetchingly, but it might work.

Edit: one that is NOT 103km ... more like half that. ;)

I'm back in w/ the training rides next week though if ol' Somna gets his shizznit together

I just experienced an almost overwhelming urge to sell off the Pake frame/wheelset and build up a new commuting bike. Steamroller is at least double butted ... I can get it for cheap and it'll fit bigass cyclocross tires in the winter.

That and I've got that 36/36 double fixed set of Formula hubs just itching to be laced up 3 leading/3 trailing.

Oh willpower, save me now.

The guy at the shop said his friends bike got stolen a while ago and after searching for a while she was walking by Igor's shop and spotted her bike outside amongst all the other stolen bikes. As she was looking at it Igor came up to her and she said,
"hey this is my bike, it was stolen a couple weeks ago, I'm taking it back"

Igor, "no this can't be your bike"

girl, " yes it is, give it back to me right now or I'm calling the cops"

after she says this Igor starts walking away into the walkway beside the shop, so she follows him and is saying,
"hey **** you, I'm calling the cops right now and taking my bike back"

As she's saying this, Igor starts unzipping his pants and pulls them down, HE THEN SQUATED DOWN AND STARTED TAKING A ***** RIGHT THERE IN THE WALKWAY IN FRONT OF THE GIRL, she was completely weirded out by this (I'm sure everyone would be), so she walked away out onto the side walk and grabbed her bike that Igors minions stole and rode off.

This guy is ****in insane, that's all I have to say. If your bike ever gets stolen make sure you check Igor's immediately, just don't follow him into the walkway beside his shop.

I'm gonna have to lower the price and/or reach a wider market with eBay.

I don't wanna eBay it though... Too much hassle with shipping and not getting shafted for payment.

We'll see.
