i was on the way to the police station.... figured i would ride around the area and pop into Barclays bikes.... to my amazement some guy was riding it down a side street in dalston. don't think he was the thief, but he knew it was stolen as he gave it back without any fuss at all. i think he said something like "fair do's" and scuttled away. the highs and lows of the past day has made me really appreciate the bike.
Gosh that was lucky!
