My bike was once locked up with two locks in central Bristol. Came back to find out that some twat had nicked my saddle. Had to ride home standing up.
My bike had a trunk bag and clip on lights - all easily removable - so that's what caused the note.
I needed the trunk bag for the shopping, but it did cross my mind to remove the lights before setting out.
Back - almost - on topic I saw a woman in Glasshouse Street, central London, years ago struggling to start her parked 125cc motorbike.
Turned out someone had nicked the kickstarter, so I jump started it for her.
Might have been a saddle-sniffer.Nothing personally, but a work mate had his saddle knicked whilst it was was looked up outside Halfords Tritton Road, Lincoln. They must have been tooled up too as it wasn't even a quick release. It wasn't even that good a saddle. Odd.
The axle or the skewer? Or did you wheelie the whole way?Left my bike outside Milton Keynes railway station, while I went to work. Got back to find the axle for the front wheel missing. Managed to very carefully slowly ride the 4 miles home, trying to avoid kerbs, potholes and associated drops / jumps. (and I didn't fall off!)
