This, in memory of the bike stolen from JJ. Still in mourning for the loss of that beloved vehicle...

Oh gosh, how very sweet of you. I am totally still mourning and walking I might add. The last bike I had stolen was in 2006. It was my "grocery getter" a 1968 Robinhood, gorgeous, vintage, black British bike that was taken from my backyard right before I left the country to live in Ireland. I had found it a good home for while I was away and fully intended to ride it again someday. After I was in Ireland for a few months my friend who had posted it's theft to a stolen bikes in Portland blog, said it had been found. Destroyed and dumped in a fountain just a few days after it was taken!! The silver lining is that across the street from that fountain lived a bikepunk artist who sweetly asked permission to have it's wrecked frame to use in a bike frame fence he was making around his yard. From 4000 miles away, I granted the permission and now it has a second life as an artwork.
Does the Montpelier Sculptcycle happen every year?
Thanks for thinking of me.
