Actually, he looks a bit like Justin Trousersnake...
what makes him a bike thief?
Ah, OK, cos the police are looking for him. Didn't read the road.cc linky.
Like the new "Tri" shoes 🙂

His parrot is not very nice it seems.
...Serious Acquisitive Crime Unit...
What's worng with the word "Theft"?
No wonder the Rozzers can't catch Scrotes on stolen Tri' bikes, they're too busy leafing through the thesaurus renaming everything...
Hope its rattling his gold fillings out!!!
He's going to get bloody hot in that jacket
Shirley they should have just waited by the first proper corner.
I think I'd be taking pointers from Scorsese's Casino when dealing out the justice on this one. Tw@s
The photographer took her phone out of her pocket, put the camera in and take a picture.
Why did the photographer not launch onto him hence causing the thief to fall onto the ground?
He wont get far - stands out like a sore thumb.
He's not fat or middle aged enough to be riding a bike like that.
Someone left 6grands-worth of property in their garden shed in central London?
Right.

Are thiefs using Time Trial bikes as gettaway vehichles now?
It was Imprezas and Evo's they used to nick for this purpose... what has the world come to?
Theifs are going green

Nope, Hither Green 😉
Sawn off shotguns are out.
People want abit of 'range' nowadays
What's the UCI ruling on smack heads, this is more progressive than bmx delivery method.
[url= http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/11215735.Lewisham_man_arrested_after_theft_of_Blackheath___2_000_championship_bikes/?ref=twtrec ]His name is Ashley Moore. He lives on Marischal Road, Lewisham.
And, he's been caught. 😀 [/url]
Good result, doesn't mention recovering the bikes though 🙁
Boom! 🙂
£2000 bike? The wheels are probably worth that! Glad he's been caught - wonder what the sentence will be?
Out of interest, does the value of the item stolen have an influence on the sentence given? I appreciate that a million pound diamond robbery may well be taken more seriously than bike theft, but given that a "good" bike can have the same value as a family hatchback, would the theft of a bike like this carry the same punishment as nicking a car say?
Sorry, rambled on a bit there!
