Hi All
Been a very strange week indeed. The amount of people I had sympathy and support from, even strangers on the street, has been very reassuring--and effective in the end, as the thiefs could sense our collective hawk eyes, and decided to contact us to buy them back. Have managed to get a few of the bikes back, pinky and black mini velo still MIA along with many Brooks saddles and much of the fine gear and accessories I designed.
However it is a precedent, they are intimidated by our collective ways, it is time to turn the tide against them. We are chipping all of our bikes and offering the same (for free) to anyone that brings their precious bike down to the bicycle library, bus or ambulance at E8 3RL
In fact we are going to celebrate this Sunday and start our Sunday Swap series, which can happen every Sunday if there are enough of us. Bring bikes and parts to sell and swap, we provide covered stall space, DJ's food and drinks by LuckyChip and coffee Trike by Bean Around Town.
Pass around below blurb if you like:

Again, thank you everyone, bike theft is no fun for anyone, but we have strength in numbers and strong legs to catch them with... Karta
