Get Well Soon Flowers
Went back to collect my bike yesterday, after my unfortunate handlebars vaulting exercise of two weeks ago, wondering how it had been treated in the interim. Having left it in chained up in perfect condition and right next door to a tube exit, surely it couldn’t have attracted too much abuse in my absence, could it?
Well, yes, it could. :D
If people sent get well soon flowers to bikes, this bike would certainly be a worthy recipient!
Aside from the stolen front wheel and the kicked in rear tyre, I particularly liked the finesse of the cigarette packet stuffed into the saddle hole (bike saddle stolen), like a mini anti-smoking ad. Very pertinent, given the ban looming this weekend. :)

They’ve fractured the cycle as well!
Man that’s harsh.
I just don’t get people some times.
I hope it hasn’t put you off your new found hobby?
Time for a shiny new bike…to save the planet on!
:-)
That’s ridiculous! What did the poor bike do to anyone to deserve such a beating! Maybe someone had a very strong aversion to Ken Livingstone’s new “ride your bike everywhere or grow old and bitter in London traffic” scheme?
Bub,
How lacking in style.
Those are those cheap “Mayfair” or “Dorchester” fags.
How awful, someone could have at least had the decency to to put some full price Marlborough in there, and not a 16 pack from the pub vending machine either. Woodbines even…
I know of some cities where the bike would have suffered the same but the very least you would have had left in your seatpost would be a “Montecristo” tube, well there was a time when I heard about this guy who had a Romeo y Julieta wrapper….anyway I digress…
Why are the cheap smokes named after places in London heavily associated with affluence, the more you think about it the less sense it makes.
The truth of the matter is, I bet you can’t buy a pack of Dorchester at the Dorchester…
It would seem that they can quite readily be found at the scene of your nearest incident of criminal vandalism though, go check em out, proper class….
I have to admit it is the finest wheel I’ve ever nicked!
