Stolen: Condor Fratello (red)

[happacool]

Still very upset about the loss of my trusty touring bike. Was stolen in the twenty seconds that I turned around, with panniers with laptop etc in tow. Taken in Fulham area, west London. 2010 frame so not particularly retro, but it's easily distinguishable as it was resprayed by me in metallic red with Condor's old decal scheme. Please keep a look out. See stolen-bikes.co.uk link below. Reward for it's return.

Thanks.

The tea leaves are everywhere, hungry like hyenas. Terrible.

Use a motorbike-insurance-certified chain-link lock like it is a religion, D locks won't keep them off. 20 secs with hydraulic bolt croppers in a bag is all it takes to defeat most bicycle locks - chain link locks it's not possible to get the croppers between the links (or any non-abrasive tool strong enough to cut them)

We should have bike parking shops like Amsterdam. Have a plan to get bike shops to offer guarded parking. The Dutch are streets ahead in terms of infrastructure.
