Selective bike thief

[Boris Bajic]

Matthew you're a star. Your lights have brightened my evening.

Are you confessing to the theft?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

iv seen theves nick loads of usless things, and it allways baffals me, especially when they ruin somethin for better value.

iv once seen a maron, frame sawn in half, for no apparent reason (brighton)

Looks like some thieving bar steward has nicked your spell checker.

The bike cages require a key that you can only get from the Estates department and you have to be a member of staff.

Glad to see you have got yourself a job, shouldn't you have been on strike yesterday?

Alan...

Just out of interest, why do you have so many lights? Can't you eat more carrotts?

In the secure bike lockup of a hostel, I had a frame pump nicked, plus it's mounting and some several luggage straps which were wrapped around the lot specifically make it arkward to pinch. They left the unlocked bike, expensive lights, Brooks saddle, and any of 101 other things they could have easily stripped from it. Another time in a similar scenario I had 2 water bottles nicked. Sometimes people just want to mess with you, or guess that you can spare 1 or 2 things going walkies that they need or whatever.

Because when I commute to work, its along unlit country roads which have traffic traveling at 60mph+. I need to be seen more than to see.

Someone once smeared curry sauce all over my bike.

You clearly upset someone in a formamlife and bad korma has caught up with you

The LED ones are AAA. You can get loads of them from Aldi really cheaply.

"Cheaply", but at what cost to the environment?

Not my problem. I suggest the situation is similar to the Toyota Prius hybrid (pollutes more to make than a normal car and doesnt break even with the pollution savings).

Not my problem.

Am I the only person that removes everything that unclips with a finger? Lights, computer, bottle, panniers?

Quite possibly the most selfish thing I have seen you say. Frankly i'm disappointed.

No, if I can take it off some other tw@ would . so off it comes and it goes into the bag .

Ah, the scouse battery.
