Directly related to my recent observation that there are a bunch of shifty crackheads near my place of employment, comes today’s news that one of said crackheads stole my fucking bike seat. Now this isn’t entirely fair… I’m not sure if it was actually a crackhead who stole it, I’m just guessing. I’m guessing though, that my guess is pretty good.
This wouldn’t have happened had I bought a lock for my bike seat, (as I’ve intended to do for months now), or taken it off quick release, (which I tried unsuccessfully to do the last time I got a tune-up) I guess it also wouldn’t have happened had some random crackhead (probably) not unlatched the quick release at a fairly busy intersection in broad daylight and stolen the fucking thing.
But anyway, the missing seat adds to my trusty old bike’s list of woes; failing gear shifts, aging parts and a bad crank. (which I’m hoping will also be a problem the seat’s new owner run into)
I put a deposit down on a new bike a few weeks ago, but found out just today, (seconds before I mounted my old seat for what would be the very last time) that the bike I ordered is permanently out of stock. The 06 is gone and the 07 won’t be released for more than a month… at least. This leaves me, temporarily bikeless. O’well.
Lesson: When parking your bike near drug addicts lock everything down. That’s all for now.
