The Community Spoke—JP's volunteer bike co-op celebrated for its free repair services, instruction, and reconditioned bikes—was robbed this week, shutting down the shop indefinitely. Having fallen victim to break-ins before, this event was unusually crippling, as the thieves nabbed cash, tools, wheels, bikes, and tubes. Report any sightings of the recognizable stolen bikes on Facebook. [BostInno]
