Did I do the L.A.T.E. ride? Good question. We had a group of 10 going from
the neighborhood. I'd arranged to loan Kendra's boyfriend a bike. But, when
I counted up bodies and space, I didn't have enough space. So, I rode two
bikes down to my office and locked them in the company's executive parking
lot, which is lit and has several security cameras.
When I got down there Saturday night, both bikes had been stolen. This
didn't bother Kendra's boyfriend (who, as it turned out, had a relatively
new Trek 1000), but left me out. I went up to the office about 1 a.m. and
worked until they finished at 6 a.m. The security people reviewed the
camera tapes, but said they didn't see anything. These were older road
bikes, so I didn't lose a great deal.
