Happily, despite everyone’s predictions, it seems that not many of the Boris Bikes have actually been stolen, or taken away from London. The Independent is claiming as few as five bikes have been stolen so far, although I don’t know if they’re including the one that we mentioned yesterday being taken to Newcastle.
This is good news for London, although unfortunately it doesn’t stretch as far as the North where there seems to be a mini spree of high-value bike thefts going on around Yorkshire. In Ilkley a guy who seems to have a bit of a budding downhill career (or maybe just a good line in persuading his mum to shell out for expensive kit) has had his Intense stolen, while in Stapleton a Specialized Enduro Pro has been lifted. Maybe there’s an organised gang targeting full suspension bikes in the area – although it may, of course, be a coincidence. Still if you know anything the contact information is on the links…
In more freeride and dramatic news, I was alerted to this trailer by cruising other people’s twitter feed, but I think it’s pretty ace. Watch it here. Awesome.
