Howdy bounty hunters!

Wildcat Wheels had a great semester and we are only missing 2 bikes. Two blue ones: 17 and 12. The numbers are located on the seat tubes. If you are not familiar with what the wildcat wheels look like, they are spray painted blue with this sweet logo on the top tube or down tube and vinyl numbers on the seat tube:

If you spot one of these outlawas parked somewhere, please slap your lock on it and call me 513-582-8014. If you spot one and someone is riding it, I advise against confrontation, but you make the call. If you are feeling sneaky you could follow them until they park and then slap your lock on there and call me.

If you can't reach me, call Drew at 502-551-6881.

Thanks everybody!

#28 was at Fazoli's on Euclid around noon today. Sorry to the guy at WW who went to lock it, I saw a guy riding it onto campus shortly before you got there.

Thanks Jlubbs. Those of you riding around campus for the next couple days, please keep a close look out for bike #28. Give me a call at 513-582-8014 if you spot it.

We will begin checking out bikes for the spring semester on Thursday evening. This means that almost all of the Wildcat Wheels you see after Friday will be legit (59 of 62). Thanks for the help in tracking these last down!

At this time we are still missing bikes 28(yellow), 12 and 17 (blue)

crap!, sorry I didn't have your number. I saw #28 20 minutes ago in front of kennedy bookstore. I was going to lock it up after I bought my book but as I feared the guy beat me out of the store. It was an asian kid with nice glasses. I did run outside and talk to him, telling him the bike needed to be returned. He said he thought WW wouldn't take it back because it was late. I don't understand the logic in that but anyway, he thanked me and seemed nice. I told him if he didn't return the bike soon it was going to be found and locked up. If I see it again I'll lock it up first thing. Hopefully, he will return it now though. I'll also put your number in my phone.

Thanks Rowbear... I will try the kid using the contact info I have on file and let him know that he can still bring it back in... So close. Thanks for keeping an eye out!

#28 was recovered yesterday. Thanks to everyone who helped with the round-up. We began checking out bikes last night so there will now be 60ish legit bikes on the roads around campus. We are still looking for two blue bikes with our decal on them #12 and #17. Thanks again for all the help!

There's a blue bike in the DoSA warehouse (K-Lair, UK Commissary area). I'll check the digits on it.

#41 is to the left of Chevy chase barbershop on Ashland ave. Looks like an old one - it has rock shox front forks.
