I was outside the big Centra in Stoneybatter earlier on today at about 12pm and I overheard some lad trying to make a quick sale on a bike. The potential buyer asked him where he got it, to which he replied ‘on the southside’.
He was trying to flog it for €50.
From what I could see, and after doing some research online, I would say it’s a black Carerra ‘Vengeance’ with neon blue text and trim, a little battered, but still in good condition.
Maybe Centra could help out with some security footage?
Anyone?

So a bike stolen from anywhere between Drimnagh and Dalkey. Anyone?
Yes. A particular bike stolen on a particular side of the city from a particular person.
Nice bike. I’d have given him at least €60 for it.
Why does everyone need such expensive bikes?
people like nice things
“this is why we cannot have nice things”
“people like nice things”
to compensate for lack of happiness.
Would they do something better on a bike 1/2 the price?
Probably not…unless they’re commuting down a mountain slope or 50km each way.
50 Euro is pretty cheap for a bike
And zero chance of being prosecuted for receiving stolen goods.
