I once recovered my stolen Flatland bike not too far from where Mole found his. Guy sitting on the sidewalk on a sunny summer's day withy bike next to him...
I did a.handbrake stop in the middle of Hastings and jumped out of the car with my steeringwheel lock.. towered over the guy inches from his face with the club in hand yelling " I am ready to die for this bike. Are you???"
He must have thought I was an absolute nut job as he apologetically gave my bike back...
I was happy to have my irreplaceable one off ride.
I was poorer then. Starving student really, I am even surprised that my hand brake worked on the MG Roadster.
But nothing could prepare me for the violating aspects of the same bike getting stolen off the 3rd story balcony of my Kitsilano apartment few months later.. I was sound a sleep in the same room tired from packing my belongings for my move next day!!!
That was the last time I rode a Flatland bike...
The theft had changed my life...
