Anybody Got A Bike I Can Borrow?

After a week of blissful relaxation (if not boredom) where all I did was read and listen to my parents imitate the Bickersons, I returned from vacation on Sunday only to be reminded of why I needed a vacation from the city in the first place. Sometime between last night and today when I came home from work, my bike was stolen off of my front porch. This is the fourth bike I've had stolen since I've moved here. I've now lost over $500 worth of bikes and locks. Up until today, I was riding my bike all over the city, enjoying the freedom it allowed me from the traffic and craziness that is driving in Chicago. Today, however, some bastard is riding along on my bike enjoying that freedom. To the person who took my bike...enjoy it. I'd really like to tell you to get a goddamn job and buy your own fuckin' bike like I had to, but what good would it do me? You have my bike and I don't. Rest assured that if I see you riding around on it, I will be taking it back...

In the meantime, if anyone knows of someone who could lend me a bike or who is selling one, please let me know. I'd like to get back to enjoying this beautiful city instead of hating it.
