Was wondering if anyone who'd had a bike stolen and the thief was caught on CCTV if the police were able to recover the bike by tracing the plate back to its owner. As I say I'm not holding out much hope but you never know, that CCTV camera may have actually been working AND pointing in the right direction!!
thanks for your kind words patch. -
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.

Might be tempted! You got a pic?
Thanks Rik. -
Anyone got one?
There was one here but I was a bit late getting in touch with Fieldcoil.

Many thanks all round! -
I'm not a violent person by nature but there's nothing quite like a bit of on-the-spot retribution:

If you've had a bike stolen recently I hope this cheers you up a little.
Apologies if you've all seen this a million times already. -
Is it because i'm new?

Fieldcoil,
Is the stem still around at all? If you just want rid I'd take it off your hands.
Let me know.
Kindest, ian
Hey all,
Long time since I participated in the forums, but thought you might want to take a peek at this video I was asked to make to coincide with the Tweed Run.
It's a bit of fluffy fun for a Monday evening:

Hope you all have a great time on the ride.
Journey safely!
