Like I say, I run a blog which people can use to report bike thefts in Bristol, with associated Twitter and Facebook accounts - probably reaches 5-600 people in total. If anyone has any details of the bike which was stolen ("black and blue Trek Madone" isn't really enough info, there must be loads of them knocking about) email them to stolenbristolbikes@gmail.com.

We're fifth in the country last time I looked, behind Manchester and Cambridge:
Oh FFS - it should've been obvious enough I was joking in my last post!

in an area known for being rather unsalubrious
The actual location of this incident was in a fairly pleasant area on the edge of Bristol.

Hope he get's better soon.
It's a nice bit of town I ride it every week. Apart from stray dogs, kids, horses, I've not had any problems over the years. Oh except the first time I used it to ride to Bath and found a dead body............

Joking aside, but I get a bit sick of the path being described as the Sin City of cycle routes. It's not the Plym Valley but for all its shortcomings, it's the sort of thing we could do with more of, locally and nationally.

As long as your alibi checked out...

Deacs is indeed a flippin hero
Good job it was his head and knuckles that took the brunt of it I ride the path most days too and have done for more than 10 years. Have had problems but like Mr Agreeable says I wouldn't want to put people off using it.
There are normally more problems in the few weeks after the clocks go back, paradoxically up until this incident it has been relatively quiet
I wouldn't like to be the thieves. They'd be much better off if they turned themselves in now and opted for 'protective custody'. There are plenty of mates of his that are all set to get down there with their night vision goggles on and set up an OP
