Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Bikes: '00 Bruce Gordon Rock and Road Tour, '01 Breezer Venturi, '97 Specialized Stumpjumper M2 Pro, '87 GT Timberland, '82 Benotto single speed, '48 Schwinn Phantom, '71 Schwinn Pea Picker, '07 BFSSFGIRO

I caught the jack@ss redhanded...

I went to the bar with some friends, and locked up outside. 2 locks, no issues. About 3am, I go outside to finish my beer and go home. I unlocked my bike and moved it to wall beside me while I changed shoes and watched the idiots. As I am finishing my beer, this young, tight jeaned wuss keeps checking out the bike. Certainly he notices the sidi's and broken in messenger bag beside the seemingly outta shape old dude....but no. As I am sitting there, he picks up my bike and starts to roll it out into the street. I am literally right on his heels. He makes it about 20 feet down the street when, I guess, he figures he can swing a leg over an ride off, when I grab him.


As I was following him into the street, my friend colin called out to me and I gave him a quick finger in the air to acknowledge him as I was on dudes heels, and colin immediately saw the situation and started my way.

I grabbed dude by the throat and pinned him first against the wooden fence by the dumpster and forced him to the ground......by the throat, 1 motion. I was about to annihilate this little hipster. Fortunately, a bouncer saw me take him down and pulled me away before I lost myself and started pounding. Colin was coherent enought to get out without yelling that dude was trying to lift my bike.

He was screaming that it was his. I said that I had just unlocked it with 2 locks that were in my messenger bag and dude screams that he has the keys. HEHEHEHE> I whip out both chains with my keys and beg him to open with his keys. of course no luck.

He's caught. Begging for forgiveness. No deal.... while we are waiting on the PD, dude takes off running, and Colin, MY BOY, 42, HALF this dudes age runs him down and drags him back to justice.

PD shows up..cuffs dude and off to jail he goes. YEEHAAAW Score one for the good guys!!!


I am so jacked up on adrenaline right now its not even funny.

Right on!

But maybe that dude was really thinking that it was his bike, in his drunken, confused and self-delusional state of mind, like, "I'm a cool hipster who should have a bike like that so then that bike is my bike, and not that fat old dude's..."

"...and Colin, MY BOY, 42, HALF this dudes age runs him down and drags him back to justice." confuses me. Your friend is half someone's age at 42 years old?

So the hipster was 84??? Hmmm. "hipster" takes on a whole new meaning at that age.


<yeah, we know. Colin is 42 and ran down the 21 yr. old. punk>

I think he inverted it - the dude was half Colin's age obviously.

And you aren't old at 42 - I am 49 and I assure you if my hand grabbed him by the throat, I would be facing homicide charges. I used to rock climb - bouldering mainly.

Good job stopping him and sending him off to where he belongs.

...yes, and then that lawsuit would be quickly thrown out of court with legal expenses to be paid by the plaintiff.

So maybe now he'll learn to think twice and/or rationalize less?

Rock on.

Even if the dude was drunk and thought it was his bike, was running away while being chased what someone does when they have what they think is their bike?

Congratulations. Sending this guy to jail is actually far, far worse that kicking his ass. I mean, if he got punched in the face a few times, he would just go home and lie to his friends about getting jumped by some black guys. By calling the cops, he gets charged with felony theft (presumably), and has to spend the rest of his life explaining what a moron he is to future employers.
