hi everyone,my second and primary bike got stolen tonight at 609 N dearborn ave. It is bright orange with white tires and tan griptape, so it is pretty easy to spot (my friend spotted me 5 blocks away today *tear* ) anyways, i'm going to report it stolen and do all the necessary work to get it reported of course, but i just wanted to also let everyone on here know also, so please please please please if you know or see anything let me know. This bike means a lot to me i've kind of been building…See More

Brett Ratner replied to giovanni torres's discussion 'preparing for 500 mile trip to toronto!'"I once did a century on a fixed gear.
