“Stolen yellow Centurion Ironman Dave Scott Special Edition. The bike matches the picture precisely except that the tires now have a yellow trim on them. If you have seen or know the whereabouts of this bike, please contact Jimmy at (408) 607-991five or jshedden16 (at) gmail.com. Thanks!”
Stolen Bike April 10th
It is a gray Trek Soho with a gray seat and disk breaks. It often has a black plastic milk crate on the back with flower decals. There is a sexy lady decal on the front and a heavy duty double light and battery pack. It has a small silver bell on the right handle bar.
If you happen to see it on the road…you know what to do. My number is below.

Stolen Bike April 7th or 8th

Our office bike was stolen this weekend from 1422 Monterey Street (same complex as Central Coast Brewing), and the lock was cut. The bike is a blue Breezer Citizen, with a rear rack and silver folding grocery baskets, a grey plastic chain guard, a cable lock connecting the seat to the seat post, and a green fluorescent sticker on the handlebars. I attached a photo of a similar model, but I don’t have a picture of the actual bike. If you see it please email jmjones (at) swca.com.

Old Saint Nick does not want you to ride quietly through the night.
Jingle your bells. Toot your horns. Blow your trumpets. Drag some cans.
If you’re too quiet, you’ll get a lump of coal for Christmas.

On the 5th of May 1862, 4000 Mexican soldiers, against overwhelming odds, defeated a French army invasion of 8000 during the Battle of Puebla. Though the victory was short-lived, it represented a great morale boost for Mexico. Three years later Mexico expelled the French with help from the Untied States.
How are you going to celebrate the Battle of Puebla victory?
Stage a reenactment of the Battle of Puebla?
Dress as a pinata?
Fly a Mexican flag?
Add your ideas below…
