It Is What It Is

Dear Mountain Bike Vandals/Thieves,

Thanks for teaching the Desormeaux’s a lesson. Next time we won’t be so naïve and just secure our mountain bikes and lock them. Next time we will either take the bikes apart before travel or cover them in some way, making it even more difficult for you to cut our brake lines and steal the brakes and front forks.

We hope you love mountain biking so much that you couldn’t resist the awesomeness of our bikes.  Maybe you are out on the hills and trails right now, breathing some fresh air and getting great exercise, thinking these forks and brakes are the best thing to happen to you.

Perhaps this was your one and only crime and you won’t move on to more dangerous thefts with more serious consequences. A criminal record is hard to live with and stupid mistakes can follow you forever.

Oh, and thanks as well that now I get to haul those bloody bikes home on the back of the RV and watch them bounce around in my rearview mirror, worrying that they are going to fly off and kill someone and it was ALL for NOTHING!

At the very least, you do have good taste.

From,

A Not so Naïve Allyson
