[NMCycling] Keep your eyes out

[SCW - John Groth via Bike-racers]

Bikers,

My wife had a face to face encounter with a mid-day bike thief ( nob hill
area). He was white, skinny with dreadlocks.  There must be a fence who is
moving these stolen bikes. He must take the bike to the fences house or
business and get cash or drugs. How else does a dirt bag like this get rid
of the bike so quickly?

Find the fence and we will find our bikes!
