236 I usually ride my bicycle to the train station.
237 I used to have a no-gear bike, but now I have an expensive 10-speed mountain bike.
238 I rent a parking space, but I was in a hurry today so I parked on the sidewalk and chained my bike to a telephone pole.
239 Chains are safer than wheel locks.
240 But when I went to get my bicycle after work it was gone.
241 I thought a bicycle thief had stolen it or maybe city workers had impound it.
242 I went to the bicycle collection center and found one just like mine.
243 It had black fenders, green handlebars, big yellow reflectors, and silver pedals.
244 It even had loose brakes, just like mine.
245 But the frame was gray and it had a shopping basket.
246 As I walked home, I saw something that looked familiar.
247 It was my bicycle, chained to a telephone pole. Ah, I had the wrong telephone pole.
