    This really sucks

    Originally saw this on the Cascade website. I wanted to pass it along so that people can keep their eyes open for it.

    I really can't believe the things some people will do.

    Damn, that poor guy...as a city-dweller, I almost never lock my bike up in a place where I can't see it. I just know of so many people who had their bikes stolen...

    While thieving is certainly never excusable you must admit the person could not have known that he was stealing from a one legged man. The bike probably just looked like it was missing a piece to the thief who I am sure did not care. In any case stealing at all from anyone, disabled or not, rich or poor, it all sucks.

    Hey, I just heard from someone who took a class from this dude that his bike was found about 2 blocks from where it was stolen. Apparently the thief didn't want to ride a one pedal bike!

    I glad that it was recovered. I'm sure it's not easy to peddle one-legged if one is not used to it. Hehe!
