Yeah, be a bit careful. You run the risk of people on here condemning you as a vile racist or something, if you dare to suggest that someone who doesn’t ‘fit the picture’ might be up to no good…
Actually, if you saw me out on me bike locally, you might come to a similar conclusion. Scruffy, puffa jacket, beanie hat, jeans, trainers. Probably smoking a fag, too. Looks a bit incongruous, I suppose. If I saw me, I’d be a bit suspicious, to be perfectly honest! ‘Who’s that scrote, on a nice bike?’ And there’s a feller locally, similar sort of thing, rides a really nice old Orange with nice bits. Just a bike enthusiast. Living on a council estate doesn’t preclude you from owning and appreciating nice bikes.
Mind, even having said that, there’s kids round here on blatantly nicked bikes. The giveaways are; too big/small, lad on a ‘ladies’ model, and one of the worst, recently, a lad on a road bike, too big for him, with roadie clipless pedals. Spesh Allez or something. And yes, bike theft is very high round here.
You’d be ok with a Jones, though. No-one would nick that.
