Stolen Bike
This weekend, our garage was broken into and the thieves took off with my husband’s bike.
On this bike was a custom leather Brooks seat given to him by coworkers after his father passed away. It’s embossed with the initials G.K. in honour of his dad.
It also had a bike bag containing most of his favourite discs, as he had just gone to play disc golf the day before.
They also took the cargo trailer we used to cycle for groceries, and that he used to cycle his camping gear up to Folk Fest! (Along with my steel toed shoes, leaf blower, battery + charger)
I can’t think of anyone less deserving of this fate, and I’m not just saying that because I’m biased. (But of course, no one deserves to have their stuff stolen)
My husband is deeply invested in the betterment of our community. He regularly volunteers his time, labour and expertise to various community organizations and he always shows up to help his friends.
He loves cycling and started a cycling group with his coworkers, aiming to help them safely cycle to and from work, showing them the best routes to take, and then hitting up local watering holes with the gang.
He’s so torn up about losing a bike he’s put 100s if not 1000s of kilometres on over the years. He’s a very sentimental man, which is part of why I love him so much!!
These thieves didn’t just take an item of monetary value, they took a part of an incredibly kind and gracious man’s soul.
Even if all they did was toss the seat and discs back over our fence, we’d be happy. Can’t see much value in an initialled bike seat and used discs with someone else’s contact info on them..
