I shouldn't really be posting here as mine's not a single speed but both my mate's and my bikes were nicked last night. They were both locked to the cycle bars on the corner of Rivington Street and Curtain Road beside The Diner. What's particularly galling is that we were eating in The Diner and one of us had a fairly good view of the bikes.
We only used one lock which is a lesson in itself and it was an Abus Steel-O-Flex. If I get another bike it'll be D-Locks all the way. The only hope I have is that these cycle bars are underneath a CCTV camera. Has anyone had any success with bike recovery when CCTV has picked up a plate?
Needless to say we're both gutted. Our bikes aren't very distinctive but if you do happen to see a blue Charge Plug with Specialized all-condition armadillo tyres or a black Charge Mixer with short riser bars instead of the flat ones then i'd appreciate a heads up (07870559241). Fat chance though, I know... I'll be scouring bikeshd.co.uk and be heading down Brick Lane at the weekend... Thanks all.
