I'm not saying that they sell stolen bikes at all Ed, I'm sure they're nice guys and 100% legit. It just annoys me cos Brick Lane is a place synonymous with knocked off bikes. So all I'm saying is that BLCs enhance the reputation of the place as a place to get bikes (knocked off or otherwise) - and that increases the footfall to the area each weekend of people interested in getting a bike and so in turn bike thieves know that there's an increased chance of selling their stolen wares each week. Ergo - more bikes in London getting nicked!
I mean that's reductionist but you get my drift.
