Stolen Bike Archive - Story by john c
sholstan@aol.com
I was rebuilding my old highschool ride one afternoon.
The seat had broken off and the chain was slipping but
it had always taken me anywhere I wanted to go so I
figured it deserved better than the junkyard. I went
in my apartment for a little while after putting the
bike under the stairs to the upper apartments. I know I
should have locked it but there wasn't a seat just a
SHARP seatpost so I thought "who'd steal this?". Well,
you guessed it, some @$%^&*& took it. I used to console
myself (while saving for its replacement) with the thought
"if there is any justice that chain will slip and drop him
on that post"
