you are correct that our police force does not give bike theft a priority. Reason being is We are not doing enough in the private sector to PREVENT bike theft from proliferating. We don't lock up correctly and most of us are in cars insulated from the events on the street.

Bike theft, Its flourishing and prospering in Sacramento

2012-02-03T15:40:53Z

They come into the bike shop with eyes darting from corner to corner. You can actually feel their fading hope that at any moment the stolen bike that gave them so much pleasure or secured them a swift passage to their livelihood will miracuosly show up. Then without a hello or how are you, the tragic mental record of loss unfolds. With their face quivering they often confess of the ommision of forgetting to lock up their trusty steed.The carelessness and absent mindedness is afterall a part of modern day life.

If the loss makes them just plain mad the next reaction is to get another bike to make up for the loss but this time its going to be invisible to the common bike thief. the uglification insues as the pain of loss is too great. In hopes to fool the thieves, one often camouflages their next steed by buying a black bike with low grade components or plastering it with so many loud angry stickers that the idea of stripping off all that vinyl would waste the bike theives time and delay the next hijacking of someone elses prized steed.

I dont have the figures of bike theft in Sacramento as they are not attainable. You see 9 out of 10 people never file a police report. Perhaps it is just apathy or a hope if they just forget the loss quickly the pain and aching will go away. But I do know the figures from my shop and I will tell you they can reach as many as 5 in a day. My passion is to get people on a bike and to eliminate car trips from the city streets and replace them with happy trips via the bicycle. That said you can understand how this crime collectively takes a serious toll on not just me but all of us who see Sacramento a better place to live when bicycling becomes a common way of life.

This week alone 2 people I know had 4 and 3 bikes taken at the same time out of back yards and garages. We may have a very organized effort here in strip mining Sacramento of its biking way of life.

As a community we must get tireless about locking up our bikes with not 1 but 2 locks, a cable AND a Ulock of quality. Here is a good article on how to lock up to keep bike thieves moving on to the uneducated fellows "at risk" bike.

http://www.sfbike.org/?theft_locking

It is the hope of this writer to create a tight knit community that puts the bike thief into his own apathy until he gets the help he needs to contribute on a positive level.

Disclosure: yes! I shamelessly sell bicycle locks at Edible Pedal Bike shop and delivery.

Arguably the biggest failure of our educational system is the inability to create safe places to learn. Our mega giant high schools combined with slack enforcement of the golden rule have over the past 60 years turned our schools into juvenile delinquent factories. Thanks for the data Robyn.

Doughbots delivers to your office by bicycle!. They are organic when ever possible and and are also the most creative in new flavors. I especially like their savory selections!

2012-02-01T17:14:33Z

Please reconsider making decisions based on more car parking. Baskets on a bike would solve this problem.. Perhaps Also people should always move to a place near good shopping by bike. Far more sustainable than a giant new parking lot the size of our waistful walmarts and costcos.

John Boyer on "Feds crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries"

2011-11-19T16:09:43Z

An added note we should also zone a portion off of our crippled city much like Amsterdam has done to regulate and control prostitution,drugs and drug users as well, leaving the rest of Sacramento a safer place. Yesterday a stoned driver flung his door out on sixteenth street omitting his canicloud in my face. and nearly taking me out in heavy traffic. A zoned area would solve so many of our problems. Perhaps the ever declining K street Mall? One big "red light" district? Discuss.

John Boyer on "Feds crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries"

2011-11-19T15:55:26Z

its time. you will see a huge decline in demand for drugs when the tax dollars generated by drug sales are used wisely. Drug users will also become part of the solution as they will fund rehab for those who come to their senses thus reducing their numbers and their liability to the rest of the human race. Drugs and chemical lobotomy are at the epicenter of the demise of the human race. We have the solutions but are running out of time.

John Boyer on "Bike share program stumbles and evolves"

2011-07-19T16:42:19Z

We can learn from this. Amsterdam poured tens of thousands of bikes into the city decades ago and they are all gone but what was left behind was a rich bicycle culture. Bike theft in midtown is rampant and our habits of securing our steeds our poor in general. Recommend always locking up well and out in the open. Report your theft emediately so the police can do their job getting recovered bikes back to their owners.

My all time favorite song. Problem is violence is again on the rise all over the globe with little understanding of why man is his own worst enemy.

John Boyer on "Arena project, green initiative topics in State of the City address"

2010-02-28T00:30:48Z

Right on Dale. More cars downtown will just give Sacramento a less than human touch.

Meanwhile very little coverage of the Sacramento State Womens basketball great season continues from the Bee. This team has moved from the basement to second place and just completed back to back 100 point efforts. Perhaps the snubbing from the Bee all these years will keep them in their winning ways

What would be the benefit of car access to K street? I like the peace and quiet it brings being car free. Most importantly the freedom from big bass and howling Harleys draws me to this area.

Womens Hoops, Why we should care.

2010-02-08T19:57:15Z

While the Sacramento Kings try to figure out how to put up Ws, the Sacramento State women's basketball squad are turning heads with a 6-game winning streak - a Sac State record.

First-year head coach Jamie Craighead has found the chemistry needed mid-season to make a run for the playoffs with an uptempo offense and a swarming back court press that forces strings of turnovers for the opposing team. More than that her team seems to carry out her leadership without question. In return everyone can shoot! Simply put - this is real TEAM sports with everyone being an offensive threat.

Senior guard Ashley Garcia has won player of the week in the Big Sky conference with impressive stats with key assists and buckets in crunch time. She was once told she would never be a starter by her former coach Dan Muscatel who resigned following a dismal record.

If the Sacramento Bee is the opinion leader of Sacramento team sports, it's a men's only club. Too often Sacramento State women's basketball has been if reported at all, found on page 15 with not more than two paragraphs at best.

Think global and support local, Go Hornets!

Wilie Weir comes to Sacramento

2010-02-07T19:40:14Z

Famed author from Carmichael Willie Weir has booked 3 shows for next week at REI. The world traveller by bicycle puts on a fine show that combines humor, drama and inspiration. The timing is perfect as Sacramento suffers through its economic woes. Willy brings answers to the dilema of how one can travel on the cheap.

When Willie gets on stage its clear his objective is to create pedal powered world travelers with every breath. The fear mongering intention that makes up the Media world of today is overmatched when it comes to Willies message. We have all heard it before, the family member who tells you "oh you mus'nt go there! Its too dangerous!" Simply put Willie Weir is a native treasure to Sacramento.

Shows are Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Very entertaining so dont miss it. Proceeds go to 3 fine nonprofits; SABA,the Sacramento Bike Kitchen and The Mustard Seed Spin

2010-01-24T21:03:55Z

I think there was a point where the musical chairs (constantly changing line ups) took the sails out of a better than expected start. This is the hardest type of season to coach. I worry about the ramifications of constant change. Injuries are a big factor in this rebuid proccess. Perhaps its time to buy a big fella for the interior? Hope Westphal has a promising second half and finds a stabe lineup so the team dynamic can get some traction and players can work/communicate with each other effectively. Great to have you here Marty!

tough crowd. Feel good stories without "controversey" are always attacked. Heres the real story: paper with questionable past does good. Sets example by taking responsibility by going green and finding its affinity with mother earth. City rewards god decision making with incentives and an abandoned hood gets another shot of optimism. Doom and gloom guys comeout to pull the plug. I personally dont care if SNR does another story about corruption without solutions ever again. I am tired of putting people on trial without due proccess via the media. Bring on the SOLUTIONS for optimum survival for all.

Steamers of Old Sac is pulling out an old friend to get the product out . If you see a bright orange Dutch delivery bike with big baskets for and aft full of salads,panini and homemade soup consider this the next revolution will not be motorized. Human power and the beautiful creation known simply as the bicycle, team up once again to save the day. Yep you got it. Steamers is going green and bringing to your workplace fine foods and drink to your door without fossil fuels. You will now be able to say I did something today for mother earth and the survival of mankind. Think I'm kidding? Think again. China now owns us financially and they did it with a population that uses the bike as its main source of transport.

'Just chew on that factoid a moment while you wash it down this winter with Steamers hot carmel cider. Riding your bike of course.
