Robert Gerth: Stolen bike was lifeline to the community

Last Thursday morning, I discovered someone had stolen my blue three-wheeled Schwinn bicycle with an orange seat and orange lights.

The bicycle was in a fenced-in yard with a gate. I should have had it locked up in the garage after someone took a bike from the guy across the street.

I lost my wife four years ago, I had two strokes, and I can’t walk too far. I use the bike to go to the doctor's office and to run errands around town. I have no transportation, and I can’t afford to take cabs all the time.

I don’t know why someone would want to take my bike. A lot of people see me riding it around town. I hope they return it.

I'd be happy to make the donation for you. BTW You don't need Facebook to use the link.

I'm not a Facebook participant but I see Mr Inman is and has 566 friends. If each one pledged $1.00 he would easily meet his goal.
