Stolen Bike in Tucson

Our friend Monique's bike was stolen today outside the University of Arizona art building. It's a spray painted brown track bike with a typewriter sticker on the head tube and a sticker that says "my bike takes me places that school never could" on the chainstay. It has drop bars with brown cork tape and two interrupter style tektro brake levers/brakes and a cane creek threadless headset. A black crankset with I think a 48 tooth black chainring. The rear wheel is a black flip flop fixed free hub on a black mavic cxp33 with I think 17 tooth fixed and free. It has wellgo pedals with metal toe clips and one toestrap is missing. Most of the logos are scratched off of the parts. The saddle is made by serfas and it has an origin 8 seatpost. There's a picture attached. She built this bike herself and really loves it so we'd be really grateful for info about it's whereabouts.' Any leads can email Colin at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Tucsons tribute to the aesthetics of cycling

A quote from their site that sums it all up "Tucson Bike Beautiful is a band of artists, aesthetes, cyclists, and wannabees all MAD for this newly imported CYCLE-CHIC "aesthetic cycling" BIKE BEAUTY thing (see www.copenhagencyclechic.com if I’ve lost you). We've actually long had Bike Beauty here in the "Old Pueblo", but we didn’t know there was a name for it or that it could be something to particularly celebrate. Some of us just thought ourselves to be a little strange, surrounded by so much… lets just say... ANTI-Cycle-Chic.... Being the proud lot we are here, though, we needed our own name because we think the bike scene here is unique and culturally authentic....We have gorgous cyclists here in Tucson with their own sort of dusty and faded desert style... students, hipsters, racers, cycle tramps, all...and a lot of sunshine... a whole lot more than in freakin’ Denmark I know... Those Danes are so masochistic when it comes to bad weather riding... Oh, the SUFFERING!! The marterdom in the wind and the sleet !! Guys, Ever think about moving to southern France?? !! Hahahahha... That's ok. We do our own version here in the summer time when the weak melt to the pavement on those 110F/45C days..."
