Wow, cyclist heroism is the theme of the week! You may remember a post from a couple of weeks ago about Jesse’s beloved green cruiser being stolen from his garage. Well, MM reader Emily posted a comment that she had a similar bike gathering dust in her yard:
hey, i’ve got a not-as-cool, but similar black schwinn cruiser in my backyard (that somehow hasn’t been stolen) looking for some love if you want a replacement. i’ve been meaning to fix it up, but would rather give it to someone who needs it!
Yesterday Jesse reported:
Just wanted to let you know that I hooked up with Emily today and grabbed her old cruiser. She didn’t want anything for it, but I brought her a nice bottle of Amador Cellars Zinfandel I picked up when I went wine tasting there over Thanksgiving. A very cheap price to pay for a replacement cruiser. Thanks for posting for me, and thanks to good hearted people. I’ve attached a pic of the new bike.
Now that’s what I call an awesome neighbor. You rock, Emily!
(Say, you wouldn’t happen to have any French-threaded 58cm road forks in your yard, would you? )
