BIKE SHORT

When a mountain biker steals another’s “lucky” drying bike shorts, mistaking them for a curbside discard, a wild chase into the mountains ensues.

STORY

Scott tears his bike shorts while riding in the mountains. Later, he sees the ”lucky” shorts that Kyle has left out to dry, and mistakes them for a curbside giveaway. He takes the shorts, which Kyle sees. Still in his purple bathrobe, post-shower, Kyle takes off on his own bike, chasing Scott up into the mountains, and back down as well. When he finally catches up to him, they have a confrontation that leads to a brawl. All of which is witnessed by a group of kids riding through. Two of the kids take the opportunity to steal Kyle and Scott’s bikes.
