Some time ago there was a thread on dumb things we have done, well I have my own story to tell.

 

This morning I packed my bike in my bakkie and headed off to do the Steak Race in PE. I got to the start and discovered that there was no front wheel. I then remembered that I left it propped up against the bumper and must have forgotten to put it in with the bike. I raced home to fetch it, hoping I could at least join up with the riders as my house is close to the route.

 

I got home to discover that some arse had helped himself to my wheel, it was in my driveway, right in front of the gate. It could not have been more than 15 mins from when I left home to when I got back. I drove the neighbourhood as I'm sure the thief would have been on foot and could not have gone far.

 

If you are in the Lorraine/Kamma Park area and see somebody on a bike with an odd wheel, it is mine. It is a silver Shimano RS10 wheel with a Conti tyre. What makes it worse is that I spent R300 to rebuild the hub 3 weeks ago.

not lekker - my boet did the same thing, except his was left after the ride. Figured the chances of it still being there were slim, but still went anyway and lo and behold........there it wasn't
