Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Hybrid Bike
Color:
Purple
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Hybrid bicycle with handlebar extenders, a rack on the back, a long U-lock mounted between the seat and the frame, and pedals whose toe-clips are worn down and do not function. The tires have presta valves, although there is a schrader adapter on one wheel. The seat has a small, ~1/2-inch tear revealing yellow foam beneath. There is a frame pump mounted on the side (although it may have been removed, along with the rack.) The paint fades from a deep purple to more of a blue-ish purple. It's well-loved, so there are nicks in the paint in various areas.

Incident Description:
The thieves broke into my garage and stole my bike! I've had this bike for a *very* long time, and I have great memories of riding it through various stages of my life and in the various places I have lived. The bastards who stole it obviously don't care about that, but I really want my beloved bike back. Also, I can't commute to work anymore without my bike.
