  If you are looking to buy one i think you are looking in the wrong thread...

  No I think you misunderstood my message. What I meant is, what if you see your bike on sale, how would you approach the seller?
  Surely get the police is waste of time as they wont bother with it.

  not sure who's going yet, looks like a romantic meal for two :)

  I have been a few times at Santa Marias.

  I am Italian therefore in the position :D to confirm that this is one of the best places in London to eat a proper nice pizza. And the waitresses are decent lads too.

  Just read the all thread and I am speechless. I guess the fact you dropped the word friend means that the plum has not been so helpful with the search.

  Quick q to everyone.
  How would you approach the person who is selling you stolen bike at Brick Lane?

  I asked this when I got mine done the other day. You're supposed to register the bike on the Immobilise website with the number, plus despcription and photos. When the police pull over a cyclist for running a red light or whatever, they flip the bike over, run a check and you pop up as the registered owner. If the rider isn't you he has some explaining to do.

  If you sell the bike you can just unregister it from your name and the buyer has the option of re-registering in their own name.

  I have registered my bike on the Immobilise website even though I must admit I am very skeptical about it. I have been riding around London for years now and I have never been pulled by police and I have never seen the polic pulling anybody for running a red light or for looking a suspicious thief... I dont know but I always thought that police have much more important things to do than stopping cyclists..

  Hi I have just joined the board. I was going through the threads in this session as I would like to do something similar one day.

  I am Italian but currently living in London, if you need any info on the Italian part you guys are cycling do not hesitate.

  Anyway, Cinque Terre is an amazing area, quite good for cycling as well as Tuscany and Umbria.

  Good luck and enjoy.
