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.

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!
