Cos this one

Has been U locked to a post down the road from me for the past 10 days or so.

Just wondering.

stoker’s been arrested for handlebar crime ?

I actually recovered a stolen Thorn a while back. Because they’re all customised, Thorn will have the owners contact details. Note the frame number, probably under the BB, and call SJS Cycles up with it. They’ll contact the owner 🙂

It just seems unusal being where it is. That’s a house in the picture but there’s no doors or gates on that side. There’s some houses over the road with railings which are too high to fasten a bike to.
Just as well It’s not the crime capital of Yorkshire round here!

Does seem odd to be locked up for so long with the little frame bag attached.

Did they run over a cat?

Did they run over a cat?

Lol! That ‘cat’ wasn’t there at 1st, then it was sitting on the front bars, now It’s where it is.
Mystery.

Still there this morning.

Most odd 😯

Someone’s had an accident after chaining it up?

Not a chance I’d leave that around.

Very strange.

How would get a comfortable grip on the stoker’s handlebars?

Just realised that the front wheel is quick release 😯

Looks like a nice little dynamo hub on it too lol

Stolen, shirley?

Apparently the scrotes don’t always take the bikes they steal home, in case they’re raided. Instead they just lock them up somewhere else until they have a buyer.

OP, have you posted on CTC’s forum? Just in case the rightful owner’s on there.

Thorn will likely have the owner’s phone number.

I’d be ringing the non-emergency police number, armed with the frame number and letting them know just in case it’s been reported.

Hand it in to the cops.

6 months from now, you and Ton could be capering round the back roads in a Last of the Summer Wine style.

I was just going to suggest the same as tthew did ^^^

Is it waiting to be fitted to the NZ Americas cup boat?

It’s a bate tandem, first in the world, someone wants TJ locked up

Shouldn’t be too difficult as the stoker appears set up for an orangutan. Have you seen someone looking like Clint Eastwood?

If it’s still there tomorrow morning I may just pop to the cop shop ( which is literally 500mtrs away from it) & tell them.

Or ring Thorn, who will likely have the owners details…?

Have just put a link to this thread on Tandem UK website in case owners are on there as well.

Looks like an ETC branded D-Lock, the keys are flimsy and tend to snap if forced. Have a sneaky peek under the key cover and see if there is a broken key in it, they’ve probably had to abandon it and not got around to recovering it if so (bit risky).

Seen this one also. Harrogate right? I just assumed it was locked up while the owner was at work. If not, dibs on the Magura……

Thanks, that’s mine, er I mean ours

If you could just remind me where I left it, I’ll be there tomorrow to collect it. Postcode and house-number should suffice. Is there a tool shop nearby as I seem to have mislaid the lock key.

Seriously, that is odd. I’m going with the posted above suggesting it’s nicked and left there by the thief. I’d speak to the police and Thorn

Am I the only one who thinks it’s not weird that it’s still there after 10 days?
Just look at it!!

Someone local on the tandem uk forum says it was in the town square for a couple of weeks before current location. They left a note offering help with transport if needed but not heard anything.
Who knows…maybe someone’s hoping for an insurance claim.
Guess the only thing is let local police know so they can take it into storage.

Is it possible it just doesn’t fit in the owners house?
They’re a pain to fit in tight spaces, get more of a work out getting ours from the shed to the road and back again than when actually riding it.

Still there?

Still there?

Gone, but not forgotten. 🙂

Hopefully with the true owners. 🙂
