        @colfax In Fullerton, I'm glad they didn't beat me to death.

      @azulenchilada They should make your bike a twitter account. "Still not found."

        @thelastgherkin Bonus points if they enable location sharing.

          @azulenchilada Now is the time for you to invest in a unicycle.

          @azulenchilada Do you have a way to ID it if, by some miracle, they do manage to trip over it?

            @colfax Just accessories on it, which the crook would need to be medically stupid to just leave attached like a big ID. May be a serial number on it, but I don't know it if there is one.

              @azulenchilada Mine have photocopies of the receipts with my name and phone number written on them hidden in the seat tube.

                @colfax That is a damn good idea, I will try like mad to remember that in the future. :)

                      @scribus The one on top if my fav, a 1976 Motobecane I got for free off craigslist, all completely original, even has the original tires on it.

                                  @scribus That trailer is brilliant, I've had it loaded with twice what it's rated for and I hardly notice it's there.

                                @colfax I considered one of those, but at 6'4" I thought it might not work out well.

                                  @scribus An outfit called Bike Friday makes them and one of the guys that works for them, and rides one, is about 6'5", if memory serves.

                                    @colfax Ah, that's good to know. Maybe I'll give them a second look when I have the funds.

                                      @scribus They're a good company, the bikes are made in the US and they'll customize them to your dimensions.

      @azulenchilada I'd give you one of my bikes but I think you're a bit too far away.

        @colfax I appreciate the thought, but yeah.... I've got another one (even though I rather hate it), guess I'll just get used to the little cheap non-shifting-properly mountain bike again.

          @azulenchilada I have a folding one that you could take inside with you, makes it a bit harder to steal.
