Mike Braylark didn’t know his custom Cannondale bicycle was missing, but fellow cyclist Thomas Davidson spotted his ride in the possession of a man in ‘regular clothes.’ He and the owner of a bicycle store who recognized the bike bought it from the thief for $220 and reunited it with Braylark

Quick-thinking cyclists reunited a Florida triathlete with his stolen $5,000 bike before he'd realized it was gone.

Mike Braylark was busy tucking into his Thanksgiving turkey in Tampa on Thursday when, unbeknownst to him, eagle-eyed strangers were tracking down his missing wheels.

The bizarre incident began when fellow triathlete Thomas Davidson spotted a man, who was wearing "regular clothes," riding a customized Cannondale in the West Shore area."

Good on them.

We recently spotted a couple of lads Wheeling a Cube Peloton in Bredbury. I was driving and spotted it. But, my wife spotted it, and said, "do you think that's stolen"

I said probably, its a decent bike. she noticed it was. Nothing we could do as we were driving past in traffic.

I've given the story a 'like', not just for the feelgood factor of it but the use of the word unbeknownst.
