Any luck getting it back?

We had a stolen bike spotted + recovered at Vauxhall market today. It's worth keeping an eye out there.

Gone in seconds...

Why cable locks should be avoided.

We also wish there was formal public data set for cycle stands (all
councils publishing data) - OpenStreetMap is user driven so lacks
controls.

I put in a couple of FOIs to Lambeth and Tower Hamlets for details of cycle parking stands mentioned in planning applications, you can find the details on WhatDoTheyKnow. It'd be worthwhile placing this request once every six months to update your datasets and check against OpenStreetMap, I think.

My Condor Fratello was stolen in Clapton, Hackney on Thursday.
The bike was then seen at Bricklane market this weekend, the gearset, saddle, bars have been swapped out, but the frame had my serial number.
I was out of town but did phone the police, the seller got twitchy about the person who had taken some photos and he cycled off on it.
Second pic is how it now looks.
Would love anyone to keep their eyes peeled - thankyou so much

Not yet :( , I'm only just back in London today, I'll be Straggler hunting for the rest of the week

That guy needs his crabs looking at.

Hey man when was this bike stolen?, I'm pass that pub daily and sure I've seen it once there but I'm sure it was at least a month ago, can keep eyes open just in case,

Not mine, friend spotted this.

You got it back?!

Yep, I'm happy to get the frame back at least.

Someone grabbed it for me from a dodgy character near Canonbury Overground, then face booked me to let me know.

I'll take my time and build it up again, nicer than before, sentimental value has skyrocketed.

Only the frame? Nothing else? Shit
Not been back to visit the guy?

Yeah unfortunately, I hung at the station for a while but nobody was around.

some good news at least!!!

Fuck!

Some good news I guess.

Spotted where?

@brokebroadbeat Brockley/lewisham Maybe. She just sent it to me with a reminder to lock up my bicycle.

I often see someone with a gelled mohawk riding a bike like that between Brockley and Brixton. Hope it's not theirs.

sorry for cross posting on loads of threads - I dont mean to spam

Just had some bad news that our dearest @spotter has had a nasty off cycling back from work today. He woke up in hospital and can't remember anything from the past week. he seems to be healing up but his bike has gone missing. he was most likely riding this genesis - if anyone sees it please get in touch with me or @JB or @robadob

edit - apparently the crash occured in Kentish Town

Shit, I hope he's ok.

On another note, Damn these functional bike thieves. I'll keep an eye out.

Anyone?
