Stolen bikes

Can you say exactly where this happened and the time of day?

Happened 5 October around 6pm

Grim. Glad you're ok.

Sorry don’t mean to drag it out but can you be more specific on where this happened? South of Tottenham Hale or North? I used the tow path twice yesterday North of TH it’s possible I might have seen something.

Sure. Here’s an annotated map of where it happened. I’d be very cautious about biking around here unless there are a lot of other people around.

Thanks - that’s further south of where I would have been. Really sorry this happened and hope it hasn’t put you off cycling

Not put off... doubling down. But I’ll avoid certain areas now on that kind of posh bike. Any ideas on less conspicuous road bikes?

If anyone has lost a bike outside Oxford House in Bethnal Green (by Weavers Fields) PM me. A friend intercepted some thieves and they managed to get the bike back. I think it’s been handed in to the police.

Also careful if your bike is locked around there, two guys with an angle grinder and they cut through x2 D locks on the bike.

Mate had his Trek e-mtb stolen from outside Westfield Shep Bush at lunchtime today. Two d-locks cut through in broad daylight. What else are you supposed to do? It’s getting ridiculous now.

Tie an Alsatian to the bike

Had my Cinelli Zydeco pinched from Parsons Green last night - pretty distinctive, XL rainbow frame with some nice Zipp finishing kit, and a weird white metal bottle cage in the shape of an owl. Please sling a lock on it and drop me a message if you see it!

Turn the bike upside down - trufax.

hi lads I am still looking for my bike (stolen 2 weeks ago tomorrow) one local person told me they had seen it in Tooting, if anyone is in that area and you see it please put a lock on it and post on here. Thanks.

For those who cycle around Hackney Marches. Edit: sorry for the img size (?)

I’d be interested in the Police attitude to this. This is robbery and not theft. They should be interested.
Any updates would be appreciated.

Hi guys - Lat night (15-16th October) my wifes Laura Trott RD1 Womans road bike was stolen.

It was secured to a plantlock bike planter with a d-lock and a very heavy duty motorbike link chain lock. THE WHOLE THING WAS TAKEN! The planter and all.

Taken from the Woodgreen lordship/westbury avenue area of N22.
Have reported through all the usual channels.

Hi guys

Just had my Principia Rex^e eclipse project stolen from around Tottenham Court Road area.

This bike is extremely dear to me, if you see it anywhere, please throw a lock on it and contact me on 07809214257

I would imagine it'll probably be sold for parts but worth letting people know. If anyone has a beater frame they wouldn't mind selling on the cheap so I can get back on 2 wheels as soon as, I'd be eternally grateful.

Hi all,

We had a break into our garage on Sunday night, plenty other garages broken into and more bikes stolen. I've had this stolen, drop me a message on 07447447100 if you spot it. It's not an expensive loss but I literally use it everyday. So inconvenient.

Good luck all.

Cheers x

Black steel roadbike spotted this morning, going into this estate.

Young guy wearing a tracksuit and a balaclava. I didn't catch the brand but could identify if someone showed me a photo.

And you suspect it's a stolen bike?
