My bike got stolen and my car was totaled all in one week

It wouldn't be so bad but I literally need these for work. The metro closes at midnight and Im often working past those hours to cover owl shifts.

I now have to walk everywhere, watch what duty I get because im on the "Extra board", and beg the agency for a ride if they have me work in another yard.

Im angry and sad, mostly sad.

  • I'm sorry if this is stupid or something, but how do flea markets look in the US? Because usually in Poland you can easily buy a used (most likely stolen) bike for rather cheap at those. Or if you're living close to the border visit Germany and buy something from there.

    Still, I hope you do find something serviceable for cheap in your area, and wish I could even recommend something but I literally only know that the US has garage sales and I haven't heard of much else. I dunno how alienated from your neighbors you are, but maybe asking around if someone has an unused bike you could borrow or buy could help? It really angers me that I can't help you directly and can only write this shitty comment. Sorry.

    • None of my neighbors have any extra bikes to spare or sell. So I'm just walking for now. Thankfully where I live there's a train service. It's not the best but it's doable.

      Is okay, I just mostly wanted to cry and vent
