Like riding a bike

By XxrudyxX - This FML is from back in 2018 but it's good stuff - Canada - Fort Saskatchewan

Today, my garage got broken into and someone stole my $3000 bike. I bought it a month ago while I recovered from a knee injury. I just got enough strength 2 days ago to ride it. I've only ridden it once. FML

Thankfully it's insured, right? Else that must have been one hell of a $3000 ride!

They knew you had it too! Thankfully an expensive bike like that wont be too common. Scout craigslist daily, keep an eye out nearby, and get a security camera! They make ones that loop recording on an SD card, or even one that uploads to a server the second it detects movement. Make the $200 investment on high-end items that can be lifted easy, especially behind an easy-open door! I hope you find it, I hope you made a discreet mark on it to tell its yours! Perhaps your homeowners insurance deductible is less than the cost of the bike, and they'll replace it?

Why would you be so stupid as to pay $3000 for a bicycle?

Agreed. Who needs a three thousand dollar bike?

There are bikes that go up to 10k in price, for people who do mountain biking, downhill racing and others straining things that need a good bike a 1k to 3k bike is good for them...it is a good bang for your buck. And obviously the more you pay, generally the better the quality.

Some people refer to bike as a motorcycle. And some high end bikes do cost that much!

I'm curious why you bought the bike during a time you were unable to ride it. Like was it on sale? Or do you just have really bad impulse control?

Who buys a $3000 bicycle? Unless you meant “motorbike?”

Bike as in bicycle or motorbike We need answers OP haha

Who needs a bike when you can rent an e-scooter or take an Uber?
