Bike stolen in Dulwich Park

[Gubodge]

Despite the best efforts of onlookers my bike was stolen from outside the cafe in the park, just over an hour ago. If anyone happens to see a ladies canondale synapse, with pannier rack, toe clips and bottle cage, being ridden by a teenage boy, could they please PM me.

Sorry to hear. Do keep an eye out on Gumtree over the next week or two.

I am glued to gum tree, and have attached a photo of the bike in case anyone is offered it. But I mainly just came to post my thanks.

Thank you to the man who gave chase.

Thank you to the woman who tried to knock them off and who hung around in an increasingly dark and chilly park to give a statement to the police.

Thank you to the woman in the cafe who gave me a free coffee while I waited for the police to arrive.

Thanks to the police who turned up very speedily, considering it was only a bike theft and I'd only rung 101.

Thank you to the friend who looked after my daughter when I realised I wouldn't be home in time to meet her.

And thank you to the other friend who offered to lend me his bike.

When something shitty happens it's nice to know that the good guys still significantly outnumber the bad.

Looking on Bikeshd is better - it lists all bikes for sale in London whatever the website

That's great, thanks. I'll get a lot more work done now! And have seen some nice possible replacements...

sorry to hear about this! I go there everyday and leave my dog outside while i grab a coffee - i will definitely be more careful now (i know it is two different things but you never know what people will try and steal!)

People can be such pieces of s*** sometimes!!!
