Dear tricycle-stealer: I’m not a big fan of you, but we could make a deal. You could bring my trike back. Hell, pretend like you found it and are doing a good deed…it doesn’t really matter. The thing is, I really like my red trike a lot. It’s adult-sized. It’s huge. It’s pretty original. A lot of people will recognize it as mine. I hope people who don’t know me will now recognize it and tell the police they saw it. Please do a good deed to counter the bad one, and I won’t bitch at you anymore. Deal? —Sad Former Trike Owner

where? nobody can help you if they don’t know
I hope it at least has a 1000cc engine attached to it.
i hope this is an adult size trike, or even motor driven one. if not, this person is in serious need of some good professional help with their inner child complex, just sayin.
“Dear trike stealer: You, Me. The Flagpole at recess.”
So its a large red bike…That is adult size .How big is that really ? would it be big enough for a football player…say a defensive end ? how many wheels again ?
If I see a large 3 wheel red bike I’ll call a cop for you ~:)
Riding a trike is like wearing an adult diaper.
That’s a little harsh Fever…maybe the OP has physical challenges that make a trike more rider friendly. Or maybe they just like trikes. To each his zone:)
Any time that I think of a guy riding a trike, all I can think of is that obscure Clint Eastwood film “Every Which Way But Loose”. Wherein the guy riding the trike was probably the funniest part of the motorcycle gang that chases Clint.
That and trikes are just motorized Big Wheels.
i always think of the guy on laugh-in…oh man no one here will know what i’m talkin bout
I used to love that show paingirl! Laugh-in…Smother’s Brothers…Carol Burnett and even Hee Haw…classic American sixties comedy variety shows. They just don’t write ’em like that anymore! (un)Reality TV doesn’t even come close!
I’ll keep my eye out OP…. and i’ll take the law in my own hands if I find him/her. OK, no I won’t…… anyone who steals an adult size trike may be a little unbalanced. I’ll just call the police. Maybe you should let us know the area it was stolen from.
Hi OP. Please contact me at catsmajik@hotmail.com
I may have some info for you.
The trike was stolen from Young Street, near Oxford.
SnipeHunter, there’s an email coming your way.
LOL I know who exactly owns this bike…
something tells me there can be only one…
you’d be surprised …

I found a typo….
“”Enjoy cycling without the need to BE balanced”
there… that’s better.
you would have to be mental to pay 600 bucks for a trike when you could get two bikes, duct tape them together, and make a quad for under 400…
From the letters to the editor:
In response to You Stole My Trike (Love the Way we Bitch), I found an adult trike with red back in the Bloomfield school yard this afternoon and left it at the Bloomfield Community Centre for safekeeping. I called the police as suggested, but am writing to you as well to help ensure Sad Former Trike Owner gets his trike back (if indeed this is the stolen one).
MOD- can you use OP’s account info to send an email? (or did you already do that……) Either way, hopefully this is a happy ending and a new high for the bitch forums. I say we all celebrate and get drunk.
Oh, I really hope this is my trike!! The amount of community support I’ve been receiving is incredible.
Thank you, general population of Halifax.
I’m hoping for a happy ending too.
Be sure to let us know!
be sure to wear a helmet …
Hm. No news on the trike. Perhaps a different trike? If so – my apologies to whoever does legitimately own it.
