This is the best bike I've ever had. I loved it, and I was a fool to leave it on the corner! But I've learned from my mistake. My bike was locked to a street sign, with my heavy duty chain and padlock. The chain was cut- I have the broken link here on the table, and now my bike is gone. She is all blue, and is in pretty great condition though I think that she's on the vintage side. I'd kept my bike in our basement for the past year at least, but this week I decided it would be alright to leave it locked on the well-lit, open corner near the church, across the street from my building. I thought I'd use it again soon, but the weather this week ended up being rainy and unpredictable... There will never be another like her! I'll go back to using a u-lock, as fun and convenient as the chain was. I liked also that I could lock my back wheel with the chain, but clearly that doesn't cut it. No pun intended.
