Tonawanda bike thefts

What kind of heartless bastard steals someone's special bike? Two disabled Tonawanda women had their three wheeled bikes stolen from their apartment complex. Now, they called channel 4, because they know people will probably feel sad and send them money. It's too bad their bikes disappeared, but both should be nominated for Academy Awards after this performance...


Tonawanda Police do have a suspect and have released this photo. If you see this man (on the left), please contact them. He was last seen headed towards the Alamo...

I've been doing a great deal of cycling this summer. I've found it's a great substitute for running (if you bike for longer periods) and much less stressful on the joints. My right ankle has pretty much been shot since I broke it 20 years ago.

I knew it had been a hot week but I thought it was supposed to be a little cooler yesterday. Anyway, I rode out to East Aurora to watch our u10s play at Knox Field. It took about an hour and fifteen minutes each way. Before yesterday, I had not known the entire town of Elma was on a hill. Looking over the guardrails, I was also unaware of how steep the gorge overlooking Cazenovia Creek was. You don't notice this when you're in a car. It really didn't seem that bad. Surprisingly, I was only sweating a little when I got home. I heard on the news, Buffalo set a record with a high temperature of 95 degrees. No wonder the few drops of rain I encountered at the end felt so good. Fifteen pounds down since March, ten more to go.

NY Bicycle tax?

Do the imbeciles that come up with ideas like $25 license plates for bikes live on the same planet as the rest of us? Come on. Who elected the moron from Queens that came up with this ridiculous plan? He should be immediately tested for drug use. That's the only way he could think the citizens would go along with something as ridiculous as this...

Both measures would require bikes be registered, licensed, and pass inspection. One applies to privately owned two-wheelers. The other bill, addressing commercially-operated bicycles, also requires insurance.

Bikes would be required to have license plates, just like cars, trucks, and motorcycles. They would cost $25 for the family version, and $50 for the commercial tags.

I just went to get my bike inspected and it failed the emissions test. Typical politicians. Trying to create an unnecessary tax. This is nothing but a money grab and New Yorkers will see right through it. Citizens 1-Crooks 0.

I can tell you one guy who will never support this piece of legislation...
