Schwinn Sidewinder 26” matte black and green mountain bike stolen
Yesterday at approximately 2 PM I parked my Schwinn Sidewinder 26” matte-black and green mountain bike outside the Redmond library (NE 85th St) on the bike rack to use the bathroom and exchange a library book. I (stupidly) did not lock it because I was going to be gone for “just a few minutes.” When I came out, my bike was no longer there. I regrettably never took a picture of my bike and never bothered to check the serial number. This is the only picture I could find online. My bike looks like this except I installed an aluminum silver bottle cage on the frame. The handlebar covers are pushed a little bit off the handlebars. I know that not many bikes are recovered especially without a serial number and proof of ownership, but I’d just like to post this so people can keep an eye out for it, and as a PSA to always lock your bike no matter how short you’re leaving it unattended.
This bike and I went on many adventures together and it got me into long distance riding. I often preferred to bike to places rather than drive. It hurts to know that my buddy is probably being ripped to pieces and its parts are being sold on sketchy sites.
