bike

I know you don’t normally do this but my bike was stolen from my apartment complex on Royal Canal Bank in Phibsborough [Dublin] at the weekend.

It’s a second hand bike made from parts from different bikes (not by me) and it’s worth only the change in your pocket but I love the thing.

It’s identifiable by dodgy gears, a saddle that’s torn to shreds and some orange tape around parts of the handlebars. I know the chances are slim but if anybody comes across it I’d appreciate a heads up.
