Does the leader of the Conservative Party not get police protection? Surely they can watch his bike?

 

[Jake]

I would have thought so, his house is guarded by armed police. Surely if he had a car, it would be locked up to stop people putting bombs under it like the IRA did in 1974

 

[Flyingfox]

I wonder what type of lock he uses.

 

[HLaB]

He had only borrowed the bike, I bet his aide was peed off.

 

[Keith Oates]

It's sad when anyone gets a bike stolen, because it's Cameron doesn't make it any worse or better, but it just may edge him towards pushing for better bike facilities in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" silver and black Scott bike was chained to railings near his home"

Perhaps he suffers from the same problem at my house and dare not take it home. If I took a 'stranger' bike home mrsG would presume that I had spent the holiday money again on a new love and throw me out.

I read it that it was his bike that got stolen and that he then used an aides bike to get to work on. I think he needs to start following the n+1 rule when it comes cycles owned.

No, his bike was stolen, so he had to borrow one from his aide to "get to prime minister's questions"

At least he cycles, which is more than the useless piece of lard at no 10 does for exercise.

Cheers, the bbc have elaborated on the story its very clear now, it was probably clear in the 1st place

The only muscles Gordon Brown exercises are the ones round his mouth (those YouTube smiles must take practise).

Does anyone have a picture of the bike? It'll probably be on Gumtree tomorrow.

 

[Bromptonaut]

Can anyone identify the make/model in this picture? The Ever Ready headlight etc suggest something from the seventies. Nice set of centre pull brakes.

He also looks much more at home on a bike than Osborne!!
