Having a bike stolen can feel like a sucker punch to the gut. Your prized possession…gone. In many cases, never to be seen again.
Since your bike is the link to doing what you love, hearing a story about someone having a bike stolen seems to prompt a visceral response when you hear it. I know it does for me.
Just imagine how you’d feel in this situation:
It’s 4 o’clock and time to meet my buddy Matt for a Monday street session…except my bike is no longer on my rack. At first I thought it was a joke – I scour the shop to make sure it’s not hiding behind any of the shelves, stuffed in the machine shop, or behind the trailer. Nothing. I realize my bike was stolen right off my rack, 10 feet away from my desk. I was separated from my car by a bay door.
That sinking WTF feeling.
It can happen to anybody.
Even guys that work for big bike companies like Profile. Check out Matt Coplon’s stolen bike story (where the excerpt above comes from) to find out how he handled it.
