@cyclelife whatever you might think of Cotic they've been robbed by a bunch of lowlife, lost ten grand plus of kit and you could have just kept quiet or sent some good wishes.

Whatever happened to being kind and supportive.

Hope they find the scumbags and the bikes too.

Arsehole theiving bastards.

Having been a victim of burglary fairly recently I can tell you it's a horrible feeling.

Hopefully they get their comeuppance, preferably by a beating rather than the law.

Scum. Sub-human scum.

I hate how people target small hard working businesses like this.

That’s harsh.

What’s also harsh is ****y comments like @cyclelife’s.

And what’s unfortunate is:
<h3 id="h-singletrack-recommended-deals-security">Singletrack Recommended Deals – Security</h3>
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;"> appearing below the article, before the comments 🙈</span>

Those "Singletrack Recommended Deals – Security" look okay to me (well, the ones where the links work). If you have one or two bikes at home, it is well worth having kit like that to help slow down and deter the more "casual" thief. If this story prompts you to up your own bike security, is that a bad thing? But determined groups targeting shops, bike companies, distributors, clubs etc are a whole different problem that those tools don't really put off.

The police are fully involved in terms of this break in, which is key.

A quick note: Lots of people in the area (living and visiting) have been very helpful and supportive towards Cy and Cotic more generally today. Properly heartwarming. There are lots of great people out there. I'm passing on thanks here if any of you are reading this. And reminding others... there are loads of great people out there... don't focus too much on the kind of people that carry out these crimes... think about all the good out there as well... have a positive rest of the weekend.

That's all a bit shit.
Having also been a victim of a buglary where our bikes were stolen I know what it feels like to have this happen.

Really hope they catch the people that did this and recover the bikes. I know it's not likely, but we can live in hope.

Nice to hear that people are beingn supportive.

Terrible news and I feel for Cy and team.
They were all very helpful when I had questions and needed help with my BFe a few years ago and I hope (probably way too optimistically) that they get them returned undamaged.

Hopefully they get their comeuppance, preferably by a beating rather than the law.

With luck it'll be both.

I assume the thieving arserags would strip the bits off & flog the parts, ditch the frames?
They’re a bit unique to flog on Marketplace Shirley?
My eyes are peeled here in North Yorkshire.

Have you checked the bakewell bakery ?, those bakers are always needing the dough 😛

In seriousness. The small estate Cotic are on looks pretty secure, especially given theres house at the gate(google maps)
