Bikes stolen

[covie]

Same thing happened to me, just the hybrid thank heavens. They also took the front skewer for the Le Turbo for some reason, maybe they're building up a bike at home. Now I keep the bikes chained up together ... in the house. I'm also not insured - but then, most bikes cost less than a year's premiums so I don't see the point of it. Hope you find l-e-k-k-e-r replacements that make you even happier than the old bikes.

 

 

I have my bike insured for all risks 20k and it costs me a whole R85 pm, its worth it Turbo.

I don't want to come across as cynical. I just genuinely want to know how many bikes get recovered like this?

 

Saw another suspected stolen bike this morning, Guy was riding in pretty decent jeans and a top with a new looking backpack, riding a scott roadster s series, (not the most expensive bike) but i notice he is wearing white sneakers and has clipless pedal on the bike, so i asked him who's bike it was and he then promptly informed me it is his brothers bike that lives in a location in kraaifontein.

 

I then told him i dont beleive him and wanted to get the serial of the bike, but there was some cable runner over the serial so couldnt get it. I then told the guy to pose with the bike because i want to take a photo for the police, he stood still, probably scared that i was going to beat the crap out of him but kept turning his face away from the camera.

 

I then phoned the cops who first said they wont send someone out unless i can prove that its a stolen bike. A lot of help these guys are. Lets face it once your bike is stolen it turns into a affirmative shopper's comuting bike and you can't do squat about it. except beat the guy up and then go to court for assult.

Nice one Covie - We all need to be this assertive. Obviously maintainingg ones own safety

[covie]

notice the shoes vs pedals

[Capricorn]

hmm. is is not possible to get a fix on the bike's owner off a partial serial (4H4xxxxx7) + bike model?

[Caerus]

Makes me laugh that they havent tried to put normal pedals on Unless his brother has clip in shoes?(which i very much doubt)

[covie]

looks like they scaled half the stuff of a mtb as well. with a womens specific ravx saddle.

Its about a 12km ride from kraaifontein location to the spar in bfell, with no clips.

Eish, was thinking that some parts dont look right on the frame, although I think thats how they come. Nice work though
