Eldron Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 The most worrying thing about this thread is riding in overalls! Those things are rough - his knees must look like polished marbles.
Fabian46 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Man i cant help if you feeling a bit slow today I bet no one bothered to notice what shoes he was wearing, all they see is the overall and because of that assumed it was stolen.Logic is that if the guy in overalls had proper cycling shoes and was clipped in then it’s unlikely he stole it.A dead giveaway would be if he was cycling with fancy road pedals and safety boots / takkies. No, slow is you sweating the little things. as per the OP's post, aswell as Smurfy's, they did not see that. Secondly, if you knew the area, you would maybe be able to have given a more educated comment....thirdly.....Blue Overalls on an italian bicycle...sorry just thought id mention it again in the hope that the penny drops...
SwissVan Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 How shortsighted of the world to think that the majority of pina owners wear cycling clothes while cycling I regularily see guys / girls riding expensive bikes during the week going to work in their work clothes...wearing proper cycling shoes. Sometimes they even have flat pedals with their work shoes but these are mostly on cheaper bikes.

Slowone Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Small white board with black nrs. Just sent PPA a mail.Check with WPCyling. They issued number plates for 2014 League (Summer). It was then timed by About2time. Since then TOP Events took over. They have a list of all the numbers that was issued by About2Time. (they timed lights by linea )Before that it was PPA. and the number changed for every season (have a few number from my son that rode league)

Still, there is a bigger chance for a person wearing an overall on a pina to be a criminal than not - there is always exceptions as well

Exactly, sometimes its the little and not so obvious things that make a big difference while assumptions end up being ASSumptions. LOL you cant help yourself can you, now its "the area" and "blue overalls"
rouxtjie Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Bottomline....if I think / feel a bike is stolen no matter the demographic, I will ask / point as to where the bike came from. Care rocks about being PC / sweeping, if it turns out to be my mistake, well then so be it. I am sure the person's ego will survive it. The OP did the right thing by posting it here, he also did it in a very diplomatic manner. PGA applause for clauderoux. To the PC brigade, riddle me this...would you be ok with this thread if it was your pina? Anyhow, fluit fluit...storie is uit.

I'm not saying its impossible, just saying that some people incorrectly assume that blue collar types for some reason are further down the "keeping up with the Joneses" scale of evolution.
