Stolen Bike (RECOVERED)

My friend Paul had his Surly bicycle stolen a week or so ago from his garage. It was a total bummer. The bike was a fixed gear one which means you cannot coast on the bike. You have to be constantly pedaling. It requires skill and strength - which is why I do not own one. Paul immediately posted on Craigslist and sent out emails to all his friends. There were lost/stolen posters at bike shops and coffee shops and he diligently but nicely hounded the folks at the Minneapolis Property and Evidence Warehouse.

Well, hard work and a bit of luck has led to the recovery of Paul's bike! Yippee! And, to quote Paul in his email, "Fixed gears bikes may be for posers and wannabe's, but I guess that they are somewhat more bike-thief resistant... or at least they don't get too far."

Ride on!
