A few months back I posted here when my older son's Miyata cheapo fixie
was stolen. He had it at the University; locked with a cable lock. Whoever stole it actually left the padlock behind with the ruined cable.
Yesterday, my younger son spotted someone riding it. Later, he tracked the bike down to the U. Bookstore and waited for the rider to come out. The guy said
he found it out by the dorms abandoned (why didn't he turn it in?) and didn't know it belonged to someone (duh) DS told him it was Raleighdonson's bike
and that we were looking for it and that there was a reward. (!!!)
So they exchange info and when Raleighdonson got home from helping his grandmother do yardwork, he drove to this guy's house and got his bike back.
He gave the guy $20 for being reasonable. (humph)

but the bike is home now. The guy put a freewheel on it. Raleighdonson has no use for a freewheel (I dont know, i'm just telling the story)

Just so you guys know, keep looking for that bike.
