...And Then There Was Bike #3!

I returned from my week in the British Virgin Islands (more about that later) in time to participate in Opening Day of Yachting Season (m.a.t.l.). Having been gone from Wednesday afternoon through Sunday for the Seattle Yacht Club festivities, I returned to my marina home to discover my bike was GONE!

Bike #1, a West Marine Port Runner folding bike, was purchased July 24th of last year prior to my sailing trip to Desolation Sound. It was stolen from in front of the marina on October 27th.

Enter bike #2. Back to West Marine to buy a Montague CX with 26" wheels, 21 speed. That is the bike that disappeared this past weekend.

And now to bike #3. After searching eBay, I made yet another trip to West Marine. Now I temporarily possess a Montague DX, 18 speed folding bike. After two trips to R.E.I. for a lock, lights, rear view mirror, back wheel platform with pannier pack it begins to resemble its predecessor.

With increased security on my part and any luck at all, #3 will remain in my possession for the long term (that means more than 12 months).

Got wheels Grande!
