Having recently had the misfortune of having my bike stolen I feel for your lost and hope that it is returned or replaced with something better.

 

May I propose the following which might assist in the recovery of your bike;

 

1. post a recent picture of your bike on the hub as this is usually the best trigger we as cyclist have when looking at fellow cyclist out on the road,

2. try and give a description of your bike which one would find unique to it. e.g. size xxl, upgrade on standard issue wheels, saddle make and color,

3. bar tape and bottle cages are easily removed and should not be your focus when presenting a description of your bike.

4. you should report the theft/robbery to the closest police station where the incident took place and obtain a case number as the police will more likely assist in accompany you when approaching a suspect.

5. look out for cyclist on the road who does not seem to fit the profile of the bike, e.g. saddle is dropped way to low.  

6. try and post the theft/robbery on as many social platforms with your contact details in order that you may be contacted immediately once the bike has been spotted

7. attend a place of worship of your choice, this one is optional,

 

Best of luck and I will keep a look out for your bike.
