Merida

What happened

The bike was locked up with a U-lock in front of 540 West Melrose this weekend, and it's a red "Merida" brand road bike. There won't be too many like this in Chicago. The lock is gone, the bike is gone, and the post where it was locked is unharmed. Someone probably made off with it in the middle of the night.
