I just take interest in what it is that makes a rider look like they might have stolen a bike.
Bike thieves tend to wear shoes, and shirts, often hoodies (see: hoodlum) but sometimes coats. I’d venture most of them carry a phone and/or keys somewhere on their person. All of the bicycle thieves arrested in London during March 2021 are current or former children.
Seemed/appeared, you understood what I was getting at though. I sort of assumed you hadn't had a conversation with this person and judged based on what you saw, like them not changing gear, or fumbling with bar position.
