"Hey asshole, I want my wheel back!" writes atom at Metblogs. "Thieves in NYC are blatant assholes. Especially thieves who steal bikes or bike parts.

Thank you asshole, you gave me a good reason to walk a lot of blocks to a bike store to get a makeshift wheel..."
Reverse snobs may be put off when atom starts talking about the high-end, almost artisanal wheel he lost ("a special hub that makes a bike with vertical dropouts... convert to a fixed gear or singlespeed using an off center ‘eccentric’ axle").
