About 1:30 am on Monday night thieves broke into a storage room at Alpenrose Velodrome and stole three high-end bikes.

The bikes were resting after one of their biggest events of the year — the Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge — which took place over the weekend.

KPTV covered the story and shared comments from the bikes’ owners who desperately need something to ride for important upcoming races. Here’s the video segment they aired last night:

By shipping them down to San Francisco or LA. I’ve heard rumors that the ultimate fate of many of the higher-end bikes that get stolen on the west coast is that they are purchased for a relative pittance from the actual thief by more organized resellers who move van loads of bikes up and down I-5 for sale a month or two later in a city where the owner probably isn’t searching for them.
