I sometimes think that, depending on the location, Rivendells can fly "under the radar". I shared this story previously, but my Ram was stolen from my garage back in December. I ended up recovering the bike about six months later, when I was driving through downtown Harrisburg and saw it locked to a bike rack in front of an office building. It was in the possession of a homeless man who was certainly not the thief. He had no idea what the bike could have been worth to an interested buyer. When I got the bike back, dusty, dirty, headlight dangling off the fork, I realized that many people (around here) might look at my bike and think it was some old bike-boom-era 10 speed. Obviously Harrisburg and Philadelphia are two different worlds. And although I started to lose hope of ever recovering my bike, I never stopped looking...every bike rack, every alley, every open garage. Any flash of color that remotely resembled my "Rambouillet Blue" grabbed my attention. So glad she's safe, and I wish her all the best.
