When I asked the
woman with that FREE SCOOTER sign what it was about she began by saying
she had a scooter
cluttering up her back yard and asked "Want it?" Then she grinned like
that was a joke and turned around her sign. The other side had
something
to the effect they should jail Rove instead...
I was talking to
another bicyclist and he told me about the time "somebody beefed my
rear wheel." I wasn't sure what he was talking about until he explained
that he had locked his bike to a post and somebody had stolen the rear
wheel. Since then I've been thinking of the time somebody stole my
bike's seat, including the post that had a shock absorber built into
it. Riding home without it was no fun, but it had to be better than
walking a bike with no back wheel. I hate getting beefed.
Back when Cake was a local band in Sacramento, they had a song with the
line "Bicycle thieves are the worst kind of thieves" in it. I wish I
had a CD with that song on it.
