Good to see even more participants in the green movement. Biking commuting is growing in all lines of work! From Tampa Bay Online:

A lone female robber stole an undisclosed amount of cash from a Metro PCS store Saturday night, making her getaway on a mountain bicycle, authorities reported.

The robber walked into the store and pointed a black handgun at the clerk and demanded money, deputies said. After she got the cash, she hopped on a dark mountain bicycle and pedaled east on Bee Ridge Road.

A couple of years ago in Dublin’s Sheriff Street An alleged Drug Lord was Assassinated by someone approaching his Car and Shootinng him Dead and making their getaway on a BikE.

On another occassion somebody on a Bicycle walked into a Bank and stole a load of Money off the Cashiers Desk which contained several 1,000 of Euro. So we have some Criminals here in Ireland whos are also using Bikes.
