Pretty interesting & fun story. The article itself was did go a bit over the top beleaguring the heroic super-hero nature of the person, but if you can read around the purple prose & redundant praise there were some cool pieces of info:

- The bike index is an interesting concept, working around the balkanized nature of PD databases.

- The actual narrative was quite funny & interesting.

- How pervasive an issue this is escaped me as a non-biker. I didn't realize how expensive bikes are and how often they get ripped off.
