Bought my bike used from a flea market and gave it a year to be stolen given that im living in a city. It’s not really junk, it’s a low end single speed but still…
Thing is, it got never stolen and am still commuting with it, 4years and counting. I’ve got so attached to it i wouldn’t know how to live without it any more. I even got a little tracker thing (in one of the three possible places you can put one on a bike…)
Ahaha, right? We buy these beater bikes so we won’t be sad when they get borrowed permamently but then they do so well for us that we gotta protect 'em.
I’ve wondered about the tracker thing but I figure one of the local open air chop shops would take that out pretty quick. (Best hope is the bike is so shitty they wouldn’t think anyone would bother with one…)
