News10’s Ryan Yamamoto reports that cycling legend Lance Armstrong’s one-of-a-kind time trial bike was stolen from his trailer overnight. The trailer was parked behind the new Residence Inn downtown. Yay Sacramento!
This is also a “Stay Classy” alert due to the use of the acronym “WTF” in a news article, quoting Armstrong’s Twitter feed. Yay 21st century newsgathering!
The Sac Rag 
“It’s an unfortunate asterisk on what was an otherwise perfect event,” Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said in a written statement. “The robbery serves as yet another said reminder that crime is a major problem in our city and that we cannot reduce our commitment to public safety.”
First off: “…another said reminder”
Second off: Hopefully one day Kevin will become our mayor and take care of crime once and for all! You know, when he gets back from the dunk contest…”Although none of the Kings were selected to the All-Star team this year, I will be proud to represent our city,” Johnson said in a prepared statement. “This is a great honor for me and for Sacramento.”
Third off: “…an otherwise perfect event…” Yeah? Tell us, KJ, what was your favorite part?

@HeyMeg thanks for picking up on that … “It’s simple. Whoever returns the bike is obviously the person who stole it. So they don’t deserve any reward!“

SacBee is reporting that it’s been recovered. Yay, I guess.

I like Fox40’s report that the stolen bike has been recovered better. 🙂 only because there is no emoticon for “barf face”
