This morning, I planned on visiting a friend today, which would require a 15 minute bus ride north of Downtown Denver, then another 10 minutes or so in my bike to reach his house. Well, I discovered that my bike was gone (I left it overnight several blocks away from my apartment, secured and in a busy area).
There’s only three explanations here:
1. Someone stole the bike (This is only possible if I neglected to properly secure the lock and chain)
2. The City of Denver removed the bike (I’m still on the fence about this — I’ve noticed a bike locked up for days that was still there today).
3. The bike decided to part ways and find a new owner.
Fortunately, because I live Downtown now, getting around isn’t a problem — I’m near everything! I’ll be looking on Craigslist this week for a cheap replacement.
Other than my bike, everything is fine. I still have to finish putting things away from the move. My spirits are up. I feel good.
