Got my bike stolen during the Fall break 9/21-9/27. (Grosvenor Ave) It was locked to the bike rack but unfortunately the chain lock was no match to a bolt cutter. (Definitely getting a U-lock next time) If any one recognizes it on the Lexington streets, please let me know! reddit.com/gallery/qh9vph
