On Friday afternoon someone cut through my U-lock with an angle grinder!
In the middle of the afternoon!!
Right after I got done warning someone about locking up with a cable lock.
BYE BYE bike #2 to Chicago bike thieves. Great way to start the summer.

I'll be there when ever and probably very hung over.
Someone should bring doughnuts.
Ron said:Well we could leave at 7:30 meet at 7:15. Any earlier, I think we risk too many no shows.
what do ya think?
Laura said:It was recommended earlier that we be at Swap-o-rama BY 7:30. what do you think about leaving a little earlier?
Ron said:7:30 A.M. Hungover or not.
notoriousDUG said:What is the meeting time?
Ron said:Also, I was speaking of meeting at my shop. 1152 N. Milwaukee. We could buzz down to Halsted and be at 43rd street in 1/2hr? 35min?. I get coffee from Grinderman. He's a local cyclist that buy and roasts his own beans in his garage. Then delivers them by bicycle. Pretty tasty, I might add. Shameless plug here.

I'm glad you're coming sir. Please encourage others. Hungover is okay. Nothing worse than apathy. Let's do this people.

So it's a 7:15 meet; 7:30 departure? Is 8:00-ish too "late" to the event? Give me the time and I'll be there. Do we need an event posting?

i think the tv show "cops" should do a sting operation of bicycle thieves. write them a letter. i imagine a nice bike set up with cameras and cops watching.
or...what about planting a microchip in the bike and locating it via GPS? that would be cool.
They did, more than once I think. In the one I've seen rerun several times they used a lojack type device and tracked the bike into a closet where they found a bunch of other stolen stuff.
That bike was locked to a lamp pole and several guys stood on top of each-other to hoist it all the way up and off the lamppost.
