the bicycle thief. not the movie.

so some guy has the balls to walk up to the bike-in movie last nite, where there's tons of peoples hanging out watching the movie, our bikes all around - and he picks up a BMX bike and rides off with it. dustin yells out, 'hay, someone just rode off on a BMX bike' and some guys get up, then more guys and then the pace is picked up. i think people first assume its just 'one of us' riding the bike or whatever. but then the owner of the bike realizes someone took off on his bike. he found someone there w/ a car and they went after him. i hope they found him. can u imagine the beating this guy would have gotten if anyone had seen him just a little sooner? damn bicycle thief. simon said there has been alot of bicycles stolen recently. that people come in with big trucks, go through and cut bikes with bolt cutters throughout a nite or 2 - then drive out of town. fuck. bad enough u have to worry bout cars running us down every minute. lock up good. we watched MASH and PEDAL last nite. both were good. i especially liked MASH. you can see a short clip of it here. some of the most beautiful effortless track bike skills & riding... PEDAL was good also - told stories of some of NYC's longtime messengers. i have the DVD and book if you'd like to borrow it. some stuff this weekend: simon is showing DEATHRACE 2000 SATURDAY NITE. the 411. 1970 cars and fashion and brutality of course. dustin mentioned a sixpack ride Saturday nite also. it's not confirmed. UPDATED: CONFIRMED. but if you find yourself out riding around at 10pm by the ped bridge with a sixpack in your bag - stop by. there may be others there with the same idea. if not, you've got a sixpack to yourself. not so bad... Date: 6/17/2006 Time: 10 PM Location: Lamar ped bridge Distance: "Fairly long" Speed: Very slow What to bring: A bike and loads of booze Dusto sez: Booze 'er up! ride bikes.

being a fellow 20 incher, who the hell would steal a 20" and ride off when theres a bunch of fast bikes around. sounds like the dude got lucky. hopefully not.
