i think someone tried to steal my/our bikes!

[caligurl]

the post about remembering to remove your bike from the roof rack reminded me!

saturday... after the stagecoach... hubby loaded up the bikes on the rack

he locked them.. using the cable... which he does when he knows we are stopping somewhere (we were stopping at in n out as well as sam's and super walmart for a couple of things i needed)

we stopped for gas about 20 minuted from home... and he tells me my bike was "laying out" flat and the only thing holding it on was the cable lock! now he is meticulous about making sure the wheel holder thingy is tight and secure... heck... one time with the mountain bikes we were on a dirt road and i was telling him to slow down cuz we were bouncing all over.. the bike never moved!

so i said: so you think someone tried to steal my bike? at first he said no.. but the more he thought.. the ONLY reasonable explanation is that someone walking by in one of the parking lots thought they were going to unlock the wheel lock and take my bike (sad thing.. they most likely had NO idea what they were trying to take! )

on the very off chance that the wheel lock did slip.. he's just going to always lock the bikes with the cable from now on.. even if we are going directly to a ride with no stops.... better safe than sorry!

poor ruby!
