Bike Recovery Action Teams

Sometimes helping the community is a little different than usual. Since volunteering to locate, identify, recover and reunite stolen bikes for their legal owners, on occasion a community member unknowingly purchases a stolen bike.

We are often able to get the buyer to relinquish the bike to its legal owner - this is the case with this Surly Instigator 2.0.

Buyer Scott, a disabled US Coastguard veteran purchased the bike so he could ride with his kids. He returned the bike to its owner. The man that aold it to him will be held accountable to some degree but we are doubtful he will refund Scott.

Our goal is $600 - Please check out the GoFundMe campaign - donate if you can. Buyer Scott is an incredible guy - no hesitation to return the bike.

Thank you!
