I tried to steal a bike on Sunday: wait! Don't lynch me! To explain:
there's been this old Puch bike outside of Leicester square station for well over three months now (to my knowledge.) One of the wheels is bent as if someone has properly stamped on it, and the rest of the bike is rotting away. So much to say that I don't think anyone is laying claim to this bike; it's just litter.
Any way, I tried to saw the D_Lock and got nowhere. Also tried the Bic pen trick that someone suggested on here; no joy.
I've asked Westminster council if they can help me remove it, but had no response. It's a shame; this nice old bike will rust away, get pointlessly vandalised and add to the general sruffiness of the West End.
