Best stolen bike recovery effort EVAR!
Shannon, aka the iconic “Wife Bike”, and Katie O’Shea, are “helping” their friend recover a stolen bike. This flyer is perhaps the greatest such flier of it’s kind:

The flyer promises one hour with the back page beauty of your choice. Wife Bike is responsible for the prevalence of the slogan on this dog’s hat in LA bike culture, so actually I feel that this flyer is a little tame. There’s room for improvement ladies.
The original flyer can be found on Katie’s Flickr page.

Tame??! You wound me, Alex Thompson.
Maybe this should be a series. The Blue Bike Flier series. The bike’s not blue, but the fliers are.
It could be a competition. Who can make the most obscene yet totally postable (i.e., no bike store would refuse to post it for being too racy) bike flier in the land, while ALSO getting all the specs of the missing bike in there?
There’s a lot of missing bikes out there. This could totally happen.
Wife Bike would never cop to some excuse like the need for bike shops to post it! I can see that you still have much to learn from Wife Bike.
I don’t know, man. GIRLFRIEND BIKE has a lot of fun …. Who’s teaching whom, it’s hard to say.

Rather than hate, why don’t you make a flier? If you can’t tell after half an hour if you’re having any fun, then you’re doing it wrong.
Might need to lose a bike first. I recommend the Pacific. It’s big, and it’s purple. Ohhhh, … the possibilities.
Step one - Borrow Katie’s bike
Step two - Lose Katie’s bike
Step three - Make AWSUM flier
Step four - Hilarity ensues!
Does this work? That stupid Pacific is too much trouble to lose - like losing the Dukes of Hazard.
My bikes are small and red…. Huh. I was gonna say “Not much sexxxxxy flier potential there,” but I take it back.
However, you still can’t borrow my bike. I’ll do anything for LOLz, but I won’t do that.
my giant trinity A0 just got stolen today at the SM library it was locked to the bike rack. Hope every1 gets their bike back.
