Cheeky b******!!!

Some swine has stolen my pedal reflectors. Only noticed when I parked the bike up after riding home. At first I thought one had fallen off until I turned the pedal around and realised both were gone from the same pedal.

Of all the things to nick they have to take something that could damage my safety.

When did you last check for their presence? Could they not have worked loose?

I once suffered from the theft of the speedo cable core on a motor bike of mine. Now that *is* weird.

They were on there this morning. I know because I checked everything was ship shape before setting off (had been tweaking a little yesterday)

tomorrow park facing the other way and they might take the other side - make it look like a proper bike.





Are they just clip in ones ? strange what people steal.

Not a lot of use unless they have pedals which are the same type.

Weird. Pedal reflectors are the sort of thing you often come across on the ground next to bike racks where they've fallen off, but stealing them is just plain odd. They must have a used value of all of 50p.

Just buy some lights then.

Be grateful that's all they nicked. It is annoying - I knew someone who had is dust caps nicked (now that's pathetic), and I've had little things stolen/broken so can appreciate your annoyance...but I've also had a bike stolen so can put things in context.

Yeah they were clip in, but you'd have to break them to get them out. Add to the fact that it was in a staff only area with a key for access... makes it a hopsital worker who stole them

I always check the deck too when I leave work and they werent there.

Mind you a few years back someone in there cut me brake cable and people have now been trying to reserve their post by leaving their locks chained up over night. Makes me think someones getting tetchy.

I had brake blocks nicked off of my bike when I left it outside a park in Stratford.

I wonder how the world would fare if people did that to cars or lorries?

I think that makes it worst...you don't **** where you eat!

Reminds me of a funny story...

...one which I cant tell on here.

my fiancee had brake blocks stolen from her old mountain bike, at the back of the shed at the bottom of the garden.

they must have climbed the wall to get in and wandered into the back of a dark shed climbing over bits of old car to get there.

ah well, silly blighters.
