Colchester Rovers had their bike container broken into last night. 4 brand new Boardman Bikes youth track bikes were stolen. & 3 other grass track bikes.

Really sad- both of my younger sisters ride for the club
really damaging grass roots cycling

Should you see A forum member stolen bike in brick lane market just Stand in front of the bike and pretend its your stolen bike.
Tell the stallholder its your bike and it was stolen a few days ago and your calling the police.
Pretend to call the police and the stallholder will handover the bike to you.
I go brick lane market every week and see people recover there stolen bikes all the time.

ONLY DO THIS IF THE BIKE IS BEING SOLD ON A STALL, DONT TRY THIS WITH THE GUYS/GIRLS SELLING ON THE STREET.

with all due respect, thats great but unless these stall holders feel some heat they will be back the following week with another one.
do the cycle task force not patrol there anymore?

Sad, but can't help thinking karma at work

I think karma's pretty fucked if thieving bikes deserves drowning in the sea :/

^This. I'd be gutted and incensed if one of my bikes were stolen but on the scale of "serious crimes, serious problems ruining the lives of people" it just doesn't figure.

He jumped: he wasn't pushed.

Customers bikes have been stolen. Boardman 9.2 TT aero and custom Talbot frameworks Dalsnibba. He had the Talbot for about 2 weeks before it was stolen from his flat. Due to the way they were stolen they were not insured, so as you can imagine, this is a big deal. Any help appreciated.

Streatham, I believe.

I am so cut about this. I love that bike!

So today i was having coffee in friend coffee shop in Dalston and few meters away was my over £4 000 road bike and van pulled over checked my bike and went away few minutes later guy came from side grabbed bike and started to run away as i was chasing him and maybe half mile later he tried to cycle on it but i was lucky that chain came off as he was panicking as i was behind him than i finally got that bastard, some how he got away from me but luckily for me without bike but there was already Mercedes vito white van waiting for him on side of the road, that bastard was wearing dark blue jeans, winter jacket half blue half brown and hood on. Just be careful around Dalston i was very lucky some how i was like forest gump even chasing him with my carbon sidi and speedplay cleats, so just be very careful and aware of that white van that driver looked eastern european but that one who was stealing was english

That is rubbish. Which area was it stolen from?

Good to hear of a positive outcome. Have you made a report to the police? The reg number of the van would be particularly useful, but I suppose in the heat of the moment people only think about such things in films. Which coffee shop was it?

If you don't carry some kind of lock with you and use it, that's going to happen again and clumsy running will not be your only similarity to Forrest Gump. If you know you're out on a ride where it's only going to be a casual short stop with the bike in sight, doesn't have to be something heavy enough to slow you down - while still being enough to slow him down so that you'd have been on him before he even got on the bike. Tiny insurance cost compared to the price of the bike.

This looks interesting, and buying ten gets them much cheaper, anyone want a group buy?

I was keeping an eye on the POM tracker, but this one looks better. Super small.

What do we think gang - is that bike also this bike? http://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/carrera-racer-here-for-sale-have-a-quick-look-/1085550895

The guy has no proof of ownership, and wants to meet at a station. Key details to note are the shitty reflectors being in the same place. Seat post looks slightly different however.

Playing detective is fun.

I'd be down for a few of those 10.
