That is a really blue bike! Fascinating story behind why it is done.
It is very sad that there is the cycle of just buying a stolen bike - especially after yours gets stolen! It just feeds into the crime! But I get it...why buy a new bike only to have it stolen? That's so tough!
Thanks for your comment! Indeed I get why people would want to buy a cheap bike instead of a new one...they are really expensive here too so its just a waste of money to buy a new one from the store...
