I can't stop myself looking out for my recently stolen bike. Whenever I see someone on a bike or see bikes locked up I am looking for my bike. I miss it so much. Are all good bikes taken apart and made up into new ones ? I've looked on gumtree- is there anywhere else ( it wont turn up at a polices station) anyone has been successful?

ha this really resonates with me, i had my bike stolen a few months ago and i always look at other cyclists suspiciously to see if they are riding my old bike!!!

i was at the community council meeeting in dulwich library last month - the police said there has actually been a reduction in bike thefts.

one man said he had had 7 bikes stolen over a few years - and never saw them again.

This was many years ago and it was actually Mr G who happened upon my bike at what was still a junk shop and not yet Cash Converters. He basically said that this was our stolen bike and he had proof of ownership so the guy in the shop just said ok, take it away then. I miraculously got my bike back. I know now that the right thing would have been to call the police and all but it was so shocking and unexpected and we were just so happy to find our much beloved bike that we didn't think of it at the time.

This is silly I know ,but I miss my bike so badly .


Talk about you dont know what you miss till it's gone

which sure gives my age away .


I tried to put my loss behind me and bought a massively expensive Trek hybrid from Balfe's ,tried to ignore how ugly the big fat tubes and cluttered handle bars were ....but could not ignore the leaden ride .


Thought it was just me but now I'm engaged on the search for a second hand mixtie ( small frame ) 531 tubing I realise that what the frame is made of affects the ride .


Oh ,how could I have been so stupid ,why didn't I keep my lovely Revell 1970's bike ( had from new for 40 years ) inside .

I had no idea how special it was ,just loved to ride it .

And will be a pig to replace as it was small .


Keep your bikes indoors .

    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
