10/13/09 2:34amYou brought a 1,000 dollar bicycle to campus? Seriously? You were just asking for it to get stolen, it probably stuck out like a sore thumb.

10/13/09 11:52amI second Link’s comment. What the heck is anyone doing bringing a $1,000 bike to campus?! Get a $90 mountain bike from Meijer, and leave the fancy bike at home, you morons. And if you’re so spoiled that you have to bring the expensive one, get a lot better lock than a $15 model.

If i had a $1000 bike I wouldn’t even want it to be rained on. lesson learned.

10/13/09 3:43pmAlso, letting all of MSU know your bike is worth $1000 probably isn’t going to help get it back.

10/15/09 11:41pmA 1,000 dollar bike? Christ, I used one that I picked up at the surplus store for 20! Sure, it was nothing to look at but that just meant I never needed a lock – people wouldn’t even take it when I offered to pay them to!
