    Wow; how childish.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Wow, that is weird. My first thought was how many people going to a bar take zip ties with them?. Where as the bike shop would have a ready supply. But, who knows.....could of been anyone. Sorry to hear this happened to you.

    Not very funny at all.
    I would be wondering what side did it as well and I would have a hard time going back there.
    Either way both places would lose my business.
    As someone that rides in the Boise area I am trying to figure out where you were LOL I do not want to go there.
    (I know quite a few people that keep zip ties in there trucks so it could be from either side.)Still not funny.

    I would write a note to the owners of both establishments deatiling the event and the reactions while mentioning the number of bikes (potential customers or current customers) involved and inform both buisnesses that they had just lost that many current and potential customers and that you will not be mentioning either business in a postive note in the future.

    Good manners and tolerance are endangered creatures and should be protected along with good buisiness practices.

    I am old and crotchety and don't have time or patience for smart alec or I am doing you a service to be in servic groups. I can easily take my money ad walk.

    just sayin.

    um. Zip ties. I hear a new one every day. All i could think of was that someone was keeping someone else from stealing your bike. but, no that was an obnoxious joke. I agree wit Marni; write a note; you do have a shop yourself and you can talk as a professional to a professional.

    I knew I was right in posting this. Thanks for the feedback and yes, I will write a note of concern to both places of business w/o going negative and let you all know if I get a response.

    Lately I seem to be asking myself:

    What is wrong with people?
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
