What's the time frame for this incident? I live on Ransom too (I think I sold you that bike actually). I'll ask around.

by any chance would you have been on gosvenor last night? My roommate saw a drunk guy wreck on a fixed gear at low speed and called me to go check it out, but by the time i made it out of bed, nothing was to be found.

can you post some more info about the bike? if in fact that was you especially given the proximity to ransom, ill be more than happen to throw a lock on it or bring it into my house on arlington until i can get ahold of you.

well shit, that is right outside my house. hope you are alright man. Im guessing some drunk kid mustve popped you and tried to ride away on your bike, eventually biting it himself?

sorry to hear that happened, me and illride will keep an eye out for douche bags doing that again.

Who knows... maybe it was just some punk-ass kid who was bored and thought he'd pop you for the hell of it, but as the economy goes down the shitter, and more and more people can't afford to drive, buy groceries, alcohol, drugs... whatever they need to sustain and/or numb themselves, I'm afraid we'll start seeing more and more of this desperate type of shit.

Also, that whole area between Lexington Ave and Arlington has always had a high rate of petty break-ins and robbery. If I lived over there, I'd stay on my toes always.
