Buttercup stolen!

My first thought when I saw this was to laugh...............I mean the guy rides 3500 miles to Portland and then someone jacks his bike! But that was insensitive, so of course I laughed some more, then I saw that someone gave him her old bike to finish his journey and cannondale is sending him a new bike. Good for him! It was great someone here gave him a bike (taking some of the sting from getting violated by that thief) and then he gets a new cannondale! Of course, if this never got television coverage he would have been out like the hundreds of people who get their bikes stolen here every year and don't get jack **** in return!
