I think we should put together a Bike retrieval posse, composed of a few of the bigger lads and angrier girls who are willing to form the back up crew in these situations. I could quite happily lead a shoreditch chapter, think hells angels but on bikes I wouldn't want to nick a harley from them - we could even get matching messenger bags with patches for how many bikes we manage to get back.
Once a stolen bike surfaces on gumtree and the owner has identified it and has some proof of ownership, the posse would accompany him/her to get the bike back with the additonal strength in numbers being an obvious benefit. I think payment in pints for the service would be an excellent recompense.
I think once the scum who nick our bikes know that selling stolen bikes on gumtree will result in a visit from the bike angels and the loss of drug money for them it should close down their sales channel. Anyone know where we can buy stab vests?
