[CMI-CM] Stolen Bike Alert / Smile Politely links

[Joel Gillespie]

Jim Kelly had his bike stolen from out in front of Common Ground earlier this week. The thieves actually uprooted the bolts holding the U-rack to the concrete to get the bike. Here's a description, so keep an eye out:

Schwinn Sierra late-80s/early-90s hybrid,
58-60cm, champagne color with black hardware mostly. Most recognizable
for the *neon yellow*
plastic fenders on both wheels and 1 right-mounted black folding black
wire basket on the rear rack,
with a few bungee cords strapped around rack and seat post. Other ID
points: horizontal crossbar, black handlebars with bar ends, slick
tires, large "tractor" seat,
headlight, a wide Schwinn tail light, black bag under the crossbar... 

Kind of weird that they would go to that much trouble. Email jim at parasol.com with any tips.

Also, so I don't have to send a separate email, here are links to Todd's winter beater bike article and a Cranksgiving wrap-up:
