Cycling and safety on the towpath
Friday, May 31st, 2013Stolen Bike
Thursday, May 23rd, 2013Just had an email from Simon, keep your eyes peeled for this one boaters.
Hi there, my bike was stolen last night from near Bridge 185 between Beckford Road and Bathampton
it’s a ‘whyte’ ‘kings cross’ bike and was stolen between 8.10pm and 10.14pm on 22nd May 2013
it’s been reported to the police (for what it’s worth) but i wondered if you could post this on your forum? Simon 077300 38801
And we don’t know whether Simon’s bike was locked or not but it’s a reminder that any bike that isn’t locked will go missing (as well as a fair few that are)
