Fucktards.

Why are people SO stupid? I ride my bike to work every day and usually lock it at the back of Sid Smith because the bike poles there are covered, in case of rain. Today after work I went on a date (with a fantastic girl ;)) and so I just left it there for a while, whatever. I return at 10 to find that I can't really ride it home. No, my bike wasn't stolen; my seat was. But here's the stupid part, there didn't steal the whole seat, just part of it. Yes, fucktards indeed.

I'm kind of suspicious because there was also an ad for a bike shop on my bike and not on any others around there. No other bikes had their seat stolen either, not even the one that's always there because it is quite clearly abandoned. Somehow I suspect that if I went to the store to look for a new seat, wow, I might be able to buy my own back. But I don't know which store it was since I ripped it off in my initial pissiness.

I know it seems like a minor thing, but it's just idiocy of it all that gets to me. Half of my seat... WTF? Anyone who has seen my bike knows that it's a total piece of shit. I'm the first to admit that. I went to get a tune-up on it and the guy refused to work on it, saying that it's beyond repair. That's why this tiny little thing turns into a big decision. It'll need some labour to fix the current remnants of the seat so the cost of that plus the cost of a new seat will easily add up to more than I paid for the bike in ther first place. (It was really cheap.) And is it even worth trying to repair it? It seems like a good opportunity to just get a new bike, but I'm hesitant after this incident, since I suspect they'll find a way to take the whole thing next time. Bike share? I don't know what to do, guess I'll talk to the 'rents... If I don't do something soon I'll probably end up spending more money using TTC for stuff that would normally be easily within biking distance... fucktards...
