Someone stole my wheels. They were aluminum weineman deep rims with origin 8 hubs. The rear hub had a dent in it. Blue tire on the back wheel and my C.Y.B.C.T.G spoke card. I'm pretty sure they're long gone but if you happen to come across them please let me know. Thanks.

got a bike stolen yesterday from inside my gated yard. It was cheap mountain bike but it's still a little frustrating especially since the bike belonged to a friend I was trying to sell it for.

As I was walking out my door this AM I looked out my window to see my road bike being ridden off by a high schooler.

It's nothing special but it was MINE.
My friends got it for me and used blue, red, white duct tape to make it look like a Cubs themed bike. Kind of easy to spot!

I called police and they actually seemed responsive and I heard him put out a call to others to look for it. Still I don't have much hope.

Just had a bike stolen in broad day light today. I'm getting really sick of donating my locked bikes to thieves who obvs know their bikes. Please help, I'm furious!
