of stolen bikes

most of you do not know mike harrison, but he is a regular at olympia who rode in the red ass this last summer. mike is a really nice guy who had a real sweet ride until it was stolen a few weeks ago. the bike is a surly karate monkey with a rohloff hub, this is a very unique setup because of the cost of the hub. any ways, mrs. dr. and i are coming home from visiting her oma last evening, around 7:15, when i look at the bike of a cyclist we are passing in our car and holy crap, i think i am seeing mike's bike. i look for a place to pull over where i think the cyclist will also be stopped when he pulls a right turn on me - we raced around the block but lost him as we got stuck at another light.

if you are in the exchange/downtown area be on the look out for a surly karate monkey with a huge rear hub. the cyclist does not look like a guy who would steal the bike (full mec get up with blue cycling jacket, helmet with a blinkey light, mec booties, and a shoulder bag), but a dork any ways for buying a hot bike (you got to know if the price is too good...) he is shorter stocky guy with a goatee beard.

It's brown--almost copper coloured--and has big wheels. Right?

And don't forget to ride with your lock in your back pocket just in case.
