Stolen bikes

Yeah but what sucks is that you can't. After all, you see plenty of nice cars, carelessly left in the street with only a fairly simple locking device, all over East London. So we have to ask ourselves: how can we protect our nice bicycles? Just never go out? I for one hardly ever lock anything up anywhere, even with my shite bikes.

It's one of the reasons why I ride my fixed bike so rarely. It's hardly a very expensive bike and mostly OTP but it is quite conspicuous and very nickable. I've increasingly thought recently of getting a beater with which I wouldn't mind if it got stolen.

'Stolen from Lower Clapton Road' might mean the bike was stolen from the owner. I suppose Oliver would have mentioned it if it was out of the ordinary, though. But to leave luggage on a bike locked up seems odd.

I don't know under what circumstances it was stolen, but it wasn't from his home.

What really scares me is that geeky touring bikes are worth nicking. i guess this one sounds pretty sexy-looking.

It's not my style of bike, either, but it was a high-quality bike. Thieves will steal anything if the opportunity is there.
