Please keep you eyes open, they are both pretty identifiable bikes, and any information would be much appreciated. Police reports have been filed and they are going up on the stolen bike registry ASAP. if anyone sees them, please contact Elliot at elliotcbennett@gmail.com

Howard, it is sad that we've stopped riding down there regularly. Perhaps if we had more man power, safety wouldn't be as much of a concern and our reliance on the crooked security staff wouldn't be a factor.

I'm excited for Elliot and his wife, but saddened that past efforts to put the heat on that raging sore on the face of the Back of the Yards neighborhood have sort of blown away and the vendors aren't even finding it necessary to make an effort to keep hot bikes out of sight. Not surprised, but saddened.

Just retrieved my bike from swap o rama. Original lock was still attached to the bike, so just showed I had the key, end of story. No security, cops, or drama.

Nice!  You showed it to the people selling it and they just gave it back?
