Giving bikers a bad rap - Bank robbery getaway bicycle


Recommended Posts

This came across my google feed this afternoon:

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-police-investigate-robbery-at-north-austin-bank-monday/1825750165

Several things popped into my head:

  1. Did someone attempt the EB ride over the weekend and need some cash?
  2. I wonder if the thief was running STRAVA at the time?
  3. The best description of the bicycle is that it's 'blue'?
  4. This story would be cooler if there were some trained dobermans or something.

It would be pretty easy for an experienced MTBer to rob a bank and disappear into SATN or some other spiderweb type of trail system with the heat on. 

Policeman: "Note to self; keep notyal's address on file."

Just make sure you're not doing it on a super-bright-orange rare custom made bike when you do it.

That article was a good read!  The guy was troubled.
