They Took The Pair

His and hers ‘Specialised’ bikes.

One with a deadhead sticker.

Pinched.

I know you don’t normally do this, but my beloved Specialised Sirrus 2010 and my girlfriend’s just-purchased Specialised Vita 2014 were both stolen from my garden shed last night. My house is near Ravensdale park, between Crumlin and Kimmage [Dublin].My bike has a unique Ween/Grateful Dead sticker facing upwards on the crossbar, as pictured. I would really really appreciate if anyone has any information about our bikes.

Anyone?

Exact same happened to me, Both mine and my Girlfriends were both pinched from the back garden in Kilmacud. . Garda were saying its rampant and they are probably on a boat to England. Checking Done-Deal daily but seen nothing.

Bike emigration, or ‘chain-drain’ is rampant alright.

    KCR holds nothing but happy memories for me. Went out with a guy who lived there whose flatmate was a DJ. I’d say the neighbours hated us.
    Good times.

Go back to bed.

    i was merely referencing the hoots n hollers we had last week with the lass who’s bike was left unlocked for a few minutes in crumlin. i wouldn’t wish bike theft on anyone – hope they all get their bikes back and wedgies are duly wished upon the perpetrators.

Ok, is anyone else irritated by a mass produced bike called “Specialized”??

Someone call the grammar Nazi’s.

  An American brand, so they can spell it as wrongly as they want, paint it what ever color they wish and ride it on the wrong side of the road too.

Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac.

Having a bike nicked is not nice. Good luck!

I do have a story. A mate had his bike nicked. One of him mates rang a few days later, it was advertised in the local second hand paper. He went around to the seller and got it back.How did he know it was his? He had his nickname printed where the brand name usually goes. The bloke selling it had advertised it using the nickname.

What did the little voice in your head say?

  Don’t look back, you can never look back.
  
  I was going to make that my first comment but I thought it was far too subtle.

Mine is still gone as of last week. I hate the bus. I feel your pain

andyourpointiswhatexactly January 16, 2015 at 11:52 am

I hear you. I sat next to a guy this morning on the bus who had SUCH big balls that he had to take up 3/4 of the seat with his spreadeagled legs, and opposite me was a girl who spent most of the journey putting on makeup. I was very close to saying “You can’t shine sh*t” to her when I stood up to get off the bus, so irritated had I become, but I held off as I’m fierce mannerly.

  That was Terence.
2. Buzz January 16, 2015 at 12:17 pm
  
  Why would you have a problem with a girl putting on makeup? I’m curious. She’s not in any way interfering with you, is she.
  1. andyourpointiswhatexactly January 16, 2015 at 12:28 pm
    
    Nope. But I can see powder floating into the air. Freaks me out. Like a lady on the train once who started filing her nails as I tried to eat my muffin while sitting next to her. I had to ask her to stop as I could see the filings floating in the winter sun, over towards, and onto, my food.

People! Stop leaving bikes in sheds!!!!!

Disasta January 16, 2015 at 1:04 pm

Why not put alarms on the bikes?
My oul lad used to sell em years ago.
A wire chain attached to a horrifically loud alarm.
At least that’d alert people.
