One-of-a-Kind Pake Bike Stolen Outside Pop's Yesterday

We’re trying our darnedest not to make every post bike-related today, but try and resist a plea such as this:

Please help me find my bike.  It was stolen outside of Pop’s on July 4th.  It’s a black pake with spray-painted baby blue and green stripes, with pake cranks, riser bars, and a basket.  Also stolen was the only saddle I’ve ever loved, a comfy women’s Terry.  It’s one-of-a-kind, and I’m hoping readers around the bay will keep an eye out.

Get in touch via the comments or missionmissionmission at gmail if you can help.

Plus, we’ve never had reason to mention how rad the Wave Organ is — and the Wave Organ is rad!

  2. I’d like to think ALL bikes — Mission bikes, especially — are one-of-a-kind. They’re that special.

    i started a facebook group called “stolen bikes san francisco”, the idea is to post pics of your bike and everyone can keep a eye out for it…it works well in philly, but we need more members here! Join and post!

    i am sorry for your loss. i truly am. however, did you really think it was a good idea to leave something so precious in front of the warzone that is pop’s on 4th of july? don’t leave your bike on 24th on any day. i hope you get your bike back.

    Guess your little U-lock you’all (yes, ya’ll, hip-loser) carry so cleverly on your belt isn’t getting it done. Ever been to NYC? Ever see their locks? Yes, they same type of shit they used to chain-up King Kong. Get with it, SF pussies.

    Does anyone know how the bike was locked up? U-lock, chain et cetera? If the lock was cut, was it left behind?

    It was u-locked to the bike rack and cut. Half of the lock was left behind.

      Ah, bust.

      I just wanted to check since I haven’t heard about many cut U-locks or have just not been paying attention. Hopefully he/she has the Kryptonite coverage or renter’s insurance to cover it.

      I’ll keep an eye out for it.
