I know there are plenty of you who can relate so I just thought I would let it out. I have spent the last 4 months saving and working my ass off to build the bike I wanted. It wasn't the perfect bike or the best one but it was "mine" and I loved it! I am on holiday visiting my girlfriend in NYC. We went out to have dinner for a friends birthday for about an hour and when we came out both of our bikes were stolen. I even bought one of those fucking NYC Fugettaboutit locks! They went through the bike rack instead!
I have never had a bike stolen. If it had been a £100 bike I wouldn't have given a shit, but we had both been saving and dreaming about our bikes for ages and now they are gone?
I'm not rich by any means and I wont be able to afford another bike for quite a long time. I was really looking forward to coming out and meeting all of you (with my new bike) but that has all been rudely interrupted by some fucking knob end who has stolen my bike!!!
There is nothing we can do about it, they are gone. It just fucking kills me, I dont know what to say or do. I really loved my bike and I am so so sad that it's gone. I wish I had another one, but I don't. I'm inconsolable, really I am.
