Doh! Bike stolen

so after critical mass tonight we went out drinking.. a few bars later and i forgot to lock my bike. no idea how, i wasn't even drunk. i just propped it up on the bike railing and walked away, apparently.

then to add insult to injury, i had no money for the bus and had to walk the 5 miles home.

i hate myself.

I heard that locks weren't all that in London anyway. ;-)

silleeeee!!
i've done that myself, got to work, put bike on railings, only realised 30 mins later when i came out for a cigarette, glad i smoke.
that's a bastard.

shit man, that sucks

shit mate.

well it's a good reason to always carry a really fucking heavy lock, that way you'll be looking at every opportunity to offload the bastard

Ah man. What a nightmare. What bike? Stolen bike blog!

yeah, it doesn't matter that it wasn't locked. it's still not for some cunt to help themselves, pics/description and up on the SBB please

yeah, i did that with my MTB beater last summer.

i did in fact catch up with the thief some weeks later, and i told him it was my bike. he looked utterly dismayed, since he seemed to have assumed that since it wasn't locked, it was fair game and therefore not a crime to take it away.

I was leathered last night and it's a miracle that I still have my bike.

Sorry to hear about yours, dude.

oh mate, all those punctures and then its swiped! not your lucky night!
got a pic? will keep an eye.

Bad luck :(

Insured ?

seriously bad luck for you tonight !!

it was taken from the bike railing on denmark street where it joins charing cross road.... i've attached the only pic i have of it. have since swapped the drops out for cut off drops (bull horns) covered in black cloth bar tape, with old white plastic bar ends.

total no name frame, cheap can spray job, loads of chips, just angle grinded off the read brake mounts & haven't re-sprayed so the rear is showing bare steel. very faded old leather saddle, white&black dirty harry leaver, chomish campagnolo calipers, cateye mount on the seatpost, mavic open sport rim on the rear, can't remember the front rim and the hubs were crap no namers, running a suicide....

i put a piece of paper with my phone number in the bars, so if anyone sees it and thinks it's mine you can just check that way.....

Sheep, You're welcome to borrow my Terry Dolan from Wednesday, provided you look after it and lock it til you're sorted with something else.

Could have been from today but I had a combined tyre/tube blow out yesterday, and can only get replacements from Chain Reaction.

That's terrible news mate. Really sorry to hear it. I'll keep an eye out.

I wonder if it was someone who was out looking to steal a bike and just got incredibly lucky or if it was someone out of an evening who sees an unlocked bike and on the spur of the moment decides to steal it. I'm almost tempted to think that the second type of person is more of a c*nt.

Did you at least get lucky with the ladies you were going to meet?
