I know you don’t normally do this but my bicycle (in photo top) was stolen from the James Luas stop {Dublin 8] today. if anyone sees it around town…it’s a teal green Sprick ladies city, Sprick, ladies city bike, 55cm, 5 speed with a black basket and a big gold bell (as above) and black tape at the front of the saddle. And a couple of plastic stars on the spokes Thank you…
Anyone?

BS – The lost & found forum.
all the sympathies in the world for the loss of the bike, we should be able to lock our bikes anywhere in our city – but James’s Luas stop…in the words of the ephemeral Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, “what were you thinking?”
There’s two things I don’t understand about Luas.
Number one, why no Wi-fi?
If Dublin Bus can do it, why can’t you?
And number three or four, or whatever number we’re on now, why no bicycles?
– You brag about your ‘cleaner for the environment’ credentials, but this kinda thing shows where your priorities lie.
Here’s an idea…Charge 50c for a bike.
(Yeah, now you’re listening, you sardine-canning conundrums.)
PS.
Keep it to off-peak hours if you must, limit it to one bike per person, set a designated area…
…but stop pretending that you care when you obviously don’t.
OR, if you actually DO care, supply this girl with video footage of her bike being stolen that she can present to a Garda station.
(I’m presuming that that hasn’t happened yet.)
THere are a lot more pressing things about LUAS (not least the carnage now in Dublin and why something called SPEED is so SLOW) than free WiFi for tight-arsed millenials and space for cyclists.
– get a dataplan.
– cycle to where you’re going, don’t take the LUAS.
On yer bike, Penny Klank.
…or tell us what these more pressing matters are.
I thought customer service was a priority.
You’re just looking for a fight.
I’m not interested.
10/10 would read again
I’m lost. Does she want the bike back or the bell? Or both?
The bicycle pannier is a basket case.
I am sorry for you that some forkwitted slimebag hanker stole your bike.
Apologies for the dross comments in BS.
Asking to see the CCTV for the area seems like a damm good idea.
Gardi taking this sort of crime seriously and taking PREVENTION measures seems even better.
why is she cycling in a pedestrian park?
Kudos on asking the pertinent questions. Slow day?
I think you are beautiful

Oops
Aren’t we all a bit crabby this evening?
Just cycled in to work this morning, she’s better off rid.
I don’t work for them or anything but every time I see something like this, I always recommend these locks. Too late for this bike, but it might save somebody else’s. If you lock your bike with this exact lock, no bike thief in Dublin will have the capabilities, equipment or time to steal your bike.

If you can believe it, I’m Meagan and I did lock it with a kryptonite U-lock. The orange mini one. Thats all that was left when I got back to the luas stop.
Then I retract my previous statement! Obviously Dublin bike thieves are cannier than I thought….
Hope you get your bike back!
