So they got six-month suspended sentences. You can see why the police don't bother investigating bicycle theft.

If they sold each bike on average for £150 then they would have made close to £40,000 in a 6 month period. plus the DOL and housing benifits. Even if they do get sent to jail it would only be for about 3 months (depending on good behaviour), which would be free living before they probably come straight back out and do it again.

Well its probably some little cunts that are always steal bikes, they love those charges. My friend had his stolen by them, we managed to grab it off the cunt though so it was happy for us. We told the Police about them because they offered us other bikes but they said they couldnt prove the other bikes where stolen so wouldnt investigate.

They need to be caught, set-up a trap with the police. Or grab one an tie the little cunt to a brick and throw hime in the Thames.

Hey where was the Charge spotted/offered? was it near Stepney?

I managed to do it on 84gi But had to stop a couple times (no walking though)
The last time I did it i did it on 80GI no stop, but was a fair work out.

All depends on you leg strength and stamina. A friend had to stop with 72GI

cool thanks, see you there next week.

Thanks 31trum, I am busy tonight but do work in South Ken so should be able to collect another night for some beers?

Yeah I am tempted but I need to pick a couple other bits but and short on cash and all other chain tugs are half the price

Hey I want to grab a set of tugs and just spotted these: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=20124&src=froogle

Has anyone used them? they look a little flimsey, but on the plus side extremely cheap and descreet.

the guys shadow is going to foward / left as is the bike - the shadow of the bike is the wrongway round though. I'm struggling to work out wtf is going on with this picture, what has been cut out / added in??? It's a photoshop shitstorm!

The shadows look correct. the shadow on the floor is for the white bike. ie going foward and left.

there is a shadow for the white bike and due to the angle of the lighting the shadow for the red one would be out of shot

To PS those bikes on to that back ground seems a little pointless. I can only presume they must be hung with some pretty heavy weight fishing line and then the fishing line possibly PSed out.

Yeah any bike thats stolen sucks, i feel for you. Just so people can undersatnd which locks are being cut.

this should help http://www.lfgss.com/thread17938.html (locks that work)

sorry cant remember seeing it, but I think its worth it

@Chocky, thats a nice bike sorry for your loss. What lock did you use?

sorry for the poor pic it was taken on a friends blackberry

And with that ratio you could almost walk faster

I would probably agree. I would generally prefer to over take for all of the reasons above and also I find the vehical drivers tend to look and signal more if they are going to turn right. On this occasion there was a stream of cyclist going down the inside so I decided to slot in and take it slower. Resulting in me witnessing the guy on the tourer in front perform a spetacular bum slide accross the bonet whilst his bike was jammed under the front. Very lucky indeed!

thanks Ruthy thats a great help, i will keep a look out as well

Good cause, but still horible

Sorry to here about your bike, what make, colour frame awas it? make colour of wheels? might help people if they spot it. Good luck

Hi guys, this maybe covered in other threads and I did try to search but to no success but I think the topic is probably worth it.

Whilst cycling home today the guy in front got nocked off, was fine and his bike repairable. The driver was also very apologetic and cooperative.

The cyclist was cycling down the inside of the cars between the pavement and stopped traffic (the usual position) past the holiday inn on old street. A bookable taxi turned right between a small gap in the stopped traffic down. He couldnt see the cyclist and like wise until it was to late. Both the cyclist and car were going at low speeds.

I have nearly found myself in similar positions but managing to stop. What the main point is I think that maybe that lots of people need to be a really careful when cycling down the inside past junctions. I do alot of time try to go down the live side of stopped traffic but this obviously brings other dangers.

I do understand that cars need to understand that cyclists could be going down the inside but sometimes I think we all take this for granted. Just a little note because I hope that no one on here is seriously injured in the same situation.

Has any one lost a celest bianchi road bike with carbon forks I saw a know bike thief on one on globe road stepney green early.
