Hot Bikes

Rachel's bike was stolen last night from where it was locked on her
front steps. In SF, over 1000 bikes are reported each year; the
actual numbers are more likely around 2000-3000 because most people
don't file a report. " Bike theft is a virtual right of passage for
most cyclists in [SF]" and yet, their seems to be little or nothing
being done about this. Read the article from the Guardian on all the
details.
