'Stolen' from the CTC forum when posted by a contributor.
I liked the backstory. I liked the bikes.
...and by way of a news item...whilst cycling through the local university here,I thought I saw someone riding through the campus on my former stolen bicycle. I was too cold and too cranky to stop. But next time - if I see the fellow - I think I will stop him to confirm it is my bike,photoshop bike and rider...and see how it goes from there. The bike was stolen some 8 years back. It has/had a distinctive dynamo light on it. Frame number and crime reported to police at that time
