66. Linda Leary Taylor explains that stealing Harry Leary’s Daylight BMX bike and leaving everything else was “just weird.” But, because she was dealing with multiple jurisdictions it was “a fiasco to get that bike back.” Thank God for fellow BMX legends Rob Porter and Greg Mathias, and Rob Porter’s wife. The were able to set-up a sting to get the bike back.
