  • Hey just had an update as I was speaking to a girl today that has seen a load of bike in the travelers site in the wick...

    It's on the mini island as you go up rothbury road toward stratford, she had seen them on the train (overground) coming back from dalston, if you have had a bike nicked around the vicky park area in the last month or so I think it would be worth going on ravvelthe train to have a look in the yard...it isn't the gypsies that live in the prefab compound, these are the crackhead traveller types (dog on string, paraboots) they have taken up residence in what used to be the refuse lorry yard that is on the left hand side of the track as you are travelling toawrds the wick from dalston...it makes perfect sense why the dickhead that stole my bike disappeared into thin air when i chased him down...

    I was literally 60 yards behind him and as I turned the corner ...he was gone...I couldn't work out how the fuck a guy on a freewheel track bike with no brakes had lost me...I was totally gobsmacked and had no idea where the fuck he had got to in such a short space of time...ie 20-30 seconds...

    I am going to have a reccy tomorrow afternoon...If i can get it back, it would be ace as I can still give the girl her bike as promised on sunday...

    keep your eyes peeled people it seems to be getting really bad lately, the audacity of the guy to nick the bike in the way he did was a total pisstake (he had claimed the van outside the shop was his) and as it had no brakes i really didn't expect him to ride off...before the penny dropped that he wasn't turning round within a respectable 'test drive' distance, I jumped on my bike and flew after him...I was maybe 40 metres behind him...and as i turned the corner, he was just fucking gone...absolutely nowhere to be seen, if he had ridden straight into the travellers yard it would explain everything...

    i'll keep you posted wish me luck!!

    Good luck mate! Hope you get it back!
