I know you don’t normally do this but my precious bike that has been a loyal servant to me through hail and sun on my daily commute was stolen yesterday evening.
It was taken from outside Java Bay [popular Stoneybatter café] on Manor Street, in usually wonderful, Dublin 7 some time between 6.15 and 7.45pm.
It is a very distinctive orange KTM mountain bike with three week new thin road tyres and a two-week new rear mudguard. I would be indebted to any of your dear readers to get in touch if they happen upon it.

Usually wonderful D7…….apart from the huge amount of dog poo on the paths, small amounts of human poo in the narrow streets/lanes and adequate amount of robbers knocking about.
Apart from the above its a nice spot
oh popular stoneybatter cafe eh? Probably helped to contribute to this article http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/jan/28/discover-dublin-stoneybatter-district-pubs-cafes-hotels
“Temple Bar and Grafton Street get the tourist traffic but novelist Rob Doyle knows that Stoneybatter’s the cool neighbourhood to explore – if you want a taste of little Williamsburg by the Liffey”
Willamsburg by the liffey, jasus wept
That’s a gas article. Imagine reading that then visiting dublin.
“Hey I know this cool little neighbourhood, it’s like Brooklyn.”
Imagine the disappointment when all they get is mugged and dog poo on their shoes.
Distinctive looking alright, I hope that someone spots it.
Stoneybatter? you need something less conspicuous, like a steam-powered unicycle.
“It was taken from outside Java Bay [popular Stoneybatter café] on Manor Street, in usually wonderful, Dublin 7 some time between 6.15 and 7.45pm.”
Why does everyone have to ham it up when posting a basic request. Give us the details, not the school essay.
Why does someone in the comments always have to be needlessly negative? Either help the person or ignore the request rather then bitching about it.
Probably to balance in the inane drivel so many people indulge in.
I feel sorry for you Tish. Sending some obviously much needed love your way.
it’s up there with the “champagne gold” iphone that was nicked a few weeks before christmas.
“I know you don’t normally do this”
They always say this, and I know they always say this because Broadsheet always posts these things. Don’t tell me lies, Mark, you knew this salient fact all too well.
additionally:
Front suspension on a commuter? Thin tyres on a bike with front suspension? Do your knees a favour, cease to do these things.
* flicks suspension lock to ‘on’ *
Say what again?
I hope you get your lovely bike back!
Well, that’s what you get for trying to own a decent bike in Dublin
Locked to itself was it?
Think I just saw three people on two bikes in Smithfield. One of them being this one. They were maybe 12 or 13 yrs old. Five mins ago. I have two bikes with me so I couldn’t do anything.
Whenever one of these go up can u please detail how it was locked or secured? Would be informative (if not possibly revealing – !)
