Incident Description:
Bike disappeared from my garage (Fulton River District - Intersection of Fulton and Des Plaines over the weekend (7/21-7/23). It's been stored safely there for over a year without incident, apparently some neighbors saw a suspicious individual in the garage and called the police but not before he seems to have made off with my bike.
The ironic thing is that the large majority of people will not be able to ride this bike. Is is 61 cm and currently set up for a 6'8" person (me) to ride. There is a U-lock holder attached to the vertical bar where a drink holder usually goes. Any help in finding my ride would be greatly appreciated, as you can imagine this is extremely frustrating!
