Agreed. Being robbed of something that you work so hard for, and need so much is a horrible feeling. I hope this bike is found.

For TO, seven years is a long life. I hope he is found.

I'm sorry for your loss. I too know the feeling of losing a bicycle to theft. It really is an unfair crime to cyclists.

Yeah, it's a shock, a violation and a bummer. You'll spend hours scanning passing and parked bikes. I lost two bikes before I bought a Stock lock for $100. Haven't had any trouble since.

I'm pretty sure Stock Lock is an Ontario company :)

Stocks Lock is based out of Waterford. There basic U-Lock seems expensive but, I've never had an issue locking my bike up in the 4 years I have had it. It's a good product.
