Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

There are hundreds of bikes outside my dorms, all locked with cables, that I know I could cut in a second. But I don't. There is one Cannondale this is locked with a Mini Evo though.

i can think of over 10 bikes on campus right now that have been there since i came to school here, some have been cut, the obvious abandoned ones, but nobody messes with the ones that are more in the public eye, thus they just have flats, and go unnoticed, and never cut off by the police down here. (yes they will cut bikes off, because they take up rack space)

1 or 2 of which i wouldn't mind having the frame of O:-)

Asking a bike forum whether or not you should steal a bike? Not so bright.

Stealing a bike right in front of your house? Even less bright.

Plus, 2 weeks is nothing. 2 months is another story.

why would you steal a bike that's been outside in the snow and rain? you should go find a bike that's just been locked up and steal that.
