someone stole my bike ;(((((

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

...Lisa,you knew me when I found out I couldn't run anymore ,and just bought the bike. I couldn't even ride up the hill...I was so frustrated. I've came a long way on that bike (4 months) ,and I will learn to ride a road bike.

So that shows that frustration with something can often lead you in wonderful new directions- and so it shall be with your next bike!
Hey, you and I have BOTH come a long way on our bikes in 4 months!
Suzie, you will LOVE your road bike. Just be sure to be careful and patient about getting one that fits you well. Try out a LOT of them if you can, the more you test ride the more likely you will feel the difference between one that fits and one that doesn't. Expect it to feel different from your hyrid upright-position bike.

You're lucky to have a guy who totally supports your biking. And think how sad that some people wouldn't even be able to get a new bike if theirs was stolen.

Tho I can't relate to having a bike stolen from my vehicle, I can relate to having my car broken into and things stolen from it. They even stole the change I had in my coin seperator (they did leave the pennies tho). Yes the items could be replaced but what pissed me off most was "what the h*ll gave them the right to take MY stuff?" Who the h*ll did they think they were?? They had no regard for me or my feelings or stuff or my situation. They simply didn't care. I remember feeling like my vehicle was so dirty that I took it into a car wash and then wiped the inside down completely before I went into work. My DH thought I was a bit crazy for that part but everything just felt so dirty.

I am so sorry you had to experience this. {{{{{hugs}}}}}

[Trek420]

My namesake, my Trek420 was lifted from my own home. Went downstairs because I really needed a ride (going through a nasty break up at the time...) and no bike

I went on to get a new bike I've never forgotten the 420 and I would love to have it back.

Check Craigs, get the word out, post pictures in LBS. You never know you may see your baby again.

Ask AG, she actually did-her hubby saw her mountain bike (which if it wasn't so sad it was lifted would be funny to think of a male bike thief on her bike, AG is my height or shorter. I'm thinking like circus clown cycling for the guy)

I'm sure my Trek was sold for the cost of a hit of crack (and I think I know who it was). If I saw him on it or near it I would (and could) do serious damage and the only thing that would stop me is...there's no cycling in jail Though it is a good way to meet women...nah, never mind.

In the back of my mind I always think one day I'll round a corner and see my fully customised unique unmistakeable Trek but know if I did she'd be in such poor shape. The Trek was roughly 10 years old and I was constantly asked if it was brand spanking new, I took good care of her.

There is a special place in H*** for bike thieves, no other sport is your equipment like part of your body. So go on, get a new bike, don't take your eyes off it and let G**, karma, the Great Pumpkin sort it out.

May he get door'ed

So sorry to hear about your bike being stolen. Major bummer.

Hope you can recover from the shock, etc. soon and get some new wheels!

Thanks TE sisters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My eyes are red from crying ,so I'm going to bed. I feel like someone died. I'm sure it was sold for meth . Sad huh!!!! Bad JU JU you are right...when one door closes another one opens. If I hadn't destroyed my ankle I never would have bought my first bike. I thought my life was over when I found out I couldn't run anymore. Look forward to doing my first metric on my new road bike in April...speaking of...Bad Ju Ju how was your ride????/
