A highly modified Tipke pedicab was stolen in Chicago, Illinois August 10th between 11:15AM and 12:30PM from an alley behind Quenches Saloon at the corner of Western and Fullerton avenues.  A witness stated it was taken by a white male approximately 30 years old with a full beard and wearing a black t-shirt.  The front wheel was locked to the frame with a u-lock.  We believe the thief simply picked up the front wheel and walked away with the bike.

Below are some photos of the bike that was taken:

A dead give away that this is the stolen Tipke is the truss structure underneath the main frame as seen in middle picture.  The bike also has an unusual drive train, in that it has a Nu-Vinci gear hub installed as the mid-ship hub.  The bottom picture is the most recent showing it equipped with an Avid BB7 disc brake in the front, and two chain rings.

Please contact Ken Cameron immediately at 512-584-9233 if you spot this pedicab.

I have friends in Chicago on the look out for it who can make arrangements to pick it up and pay the reward.
