I wouldn't say that I love my bike - but I have several memories with my 21 speed Schwinn. I delivered my paper route on that bike, I rode several miles on the Katy Trail with that bike, I fell off that bike and broke my leg, and I plan to ride that bike to work while weather is nice once I move into the city. Granted I haven't taken my bike out for a ride in a while, but that still doesn't mean I neglect it - it has been safely locked in the basement of my house.
However, when some new housemates moved in I noticed that my bike had been moved to the outdoors next to one of their bikes...so thinking that it was in the way as they were moving things into the basement, I moved it back to it's place in the basement. This was three days ago.
This morning, I was headed down to the basement to do some laundry and I see my bike is back outside. Confused again, I deal with my laundry and when I go to move it back to the basement...both bikes are gone.
Now, about 7 hours later - my bike is back...I don't where it went...but I have now locked the wheels to the frame with my U-lock and have locked it once again in my basement.
Sometimes I just don't understand people.

Glad to hear that your bike came safely home. Those bikes. . .sometimes you just have to chain them up so they understand that they shouldn't go riding with the wrong kinds of bikes. Who knows what sort of scrapes it could have gotten into. . .
Oh yeah, totally first!!
by the way. . .I was the earlier deleted comment. I got really excited when I saw no one had posted so quick made a comment, then remembered that was against the rules, so I deleted the earlier post and made a new and improved one. Bottom line: In your face, sucka's!
So...Liesel admits she cheated...so really I WIN! And...you should totally yell at your new housemates. Even though you are moving out soon, they have to recognize YOUR bike. Maybe you should buy an extra lock or two and lock their bikes up too...heh heh...
I think I can finally post again!! Woo-hoo!! Good thing you're moving from the bike-snatchers!
I would also like to add that I like the new blog template - much cheerier than the previous black number. Cheerio!!
Go Liquigas!!
