Please help me find stolen boys bicycle (see photo)



I could use your help.

My family fixed up this boys bicycle to give to a family with 3 small boys.

We replaced the tires (those are Walmart tires with kevlar)
and we did oil the chain...sadly after I took this picture and not before.

We also gave the family a bike lock and chain.

Evidently, the thief smashed the lock and nabbed the bike.

This is the second bike stolen from them in a year.

This bike they only had for 6 weeks or so.

I do have the serial number.

I'm guessing that an adult stole it for instant transport and dumped it when they got to their destination....or not...

Please help me find this stolen boys bicycle.

Southwind Park Updates July 2010

Southwind Park Updates
July 2010

I thought the big Southwind Park news of the week would be the new asphalt covering Southwind. It's very nice for bicycling.

As it turns out, the big news is that Southwind Park now has bus service.

If I'm reading this right, at this point in time the park has bus service just on Saturdays.
Here is the SMTD page for the Southwind bus route.

It goes from the park to Capitol and Sixth Street, then to 5th and back to Southwind Park.
Check this website for updates.
