Red Tern all happy and hard-working.
I thought safely locked but rack was upended and she slipped off this unbolted ungrounded bike rack but alone and vulnerable on a Sunday afternoon. Carbon-cuttered and scooped by ‘a regular around here.’ Air Tag spent some time in a parking lot and garden at the bottom of a cemetery.
Probably wandered about for a month despairing, exhausted and confused. The battery had about 12km left so no one got far. Battery mount bracket damaged and battery ripped off. Someone was peddling hard.
Spotted on the street by friends. Police brought her home. I didn’t recognize immediately, after a month on the street, damaged and all Emo. Spray painted black. Faked-up spanky-new lock and weathered cable that slipped off the seat post easily. Maybe working some construction day labour with that Milwaukee head lamp taped on the handlebars. Bits and pieces missing to aid the disguise.
