John Lemus loved his seven-speed Columbia Trailhead mountain bike. That thing could take a beating and keep going. It also very literally saved my life a few times, the editor of Indie Comics Showcase told the
Washington Examiner.
He went to retrieve the bicycle from his backyard in Hialeah, Florida, in early December. Someone stole it, and he found himself a victim of a rash of local bike thefts. It really pissed me off and also made me very sad. My bike is my main source of transportation, Lemus said.
Lemus didn t blame locals for the thefts but rather out-of-state grifters. He said it was atypical of the area, and the Hialeah Police Department has even put a special investigator on the case.
