Friends Specialized Globe 2008 58cm frame. Not a fixed but absolutly brand spanking new. Less than 24 hours old !! First time he'd locked it up outside the Dove, Broadway Market in Hackney got nicked. Went in for a pint and bike gone when he came out. The U Lock had been cut clean through. I know it's a long shot but if anyone sees any dodgy bastard on a brand new globe in that area then let me know. He's going down Brick Lane early on Sunday. I'm sure he might see it again there.
This stolen bike thing in London is out of hand. Boris wants people on bikes, Police do fuck all when they're nicked. If they did a sweep of Brick Lane every Sunday it would be a start.
Something needs to be done. You basically can't let you bike out of your site.
