Bike thefts in San Francisco are always bad (and mostly ignored by the local cops), but this one seems particularly tragic. Andrew Marinelli just completed a 6,255-mile, cross-country bike trek to raise money for the UN World Food Program, arriving in San Francisco on Saturday.
And then last night, his bike was stolen from the downtown area, where it was locked at the corner of Montgomery and Sutter streets. The bike is a large frame dark green Windsor road bike with one fender in the back and a broken right pedal. If you have any leads, contact him directly at 803.443.9343 or andrewmarinelli@gmail.com.
Despite the loss, he had a pretty good attitude about it, telling us, “It happens. I’m just glad that I made it here first.”
