    Wellington bike safety warning!

    Warning to all CBD bike park users. Watch your bikes today!

    I just poked my head the window and looked over to the bike park (Featherston St opposite the Holiday Inn) and saw a dodgey looking character hovering around looking pretty furtive. I thought it looked odd so I wandered to the end of our gantry for a cloer look.
    By the time I'd got to the bottom of the stairs the f*cker was squatting beside a bike fiddling with something (wires I think). So I started to cross toward him and said "Oi!!" He jumped up looked around, saw me coming (I'd started to run) and took off! No, he wasn't trying to get his bike started. He was trying to get someone elses bike started. I had a ook at the bike and there was no damage I could see, but I left a note anyway. I rang the police and they said they keep an eye out.

    So keep an eye on your bike!! Check it now.

    we will remember them

    Have ya heard of "ride it like you stole it"? This guy was running like he got caught trying to steal it. Ya don't run like that if you're not guilty.

    You getting out of shape there Col?

    I would have had my money on you catching him, frogmarching him up to the top of Featherston House, hanging him over the edge for a good lesson, then seeing the error of his ways and "letting him go."

    What a prick. Not you bud. The lowlife.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Surprised there was no trail of shit dripping from his daks after he was startled by you running towards him!

    Good work mate - did you get a look at him? Got a description?
    What sort of bike was he targeting?
    Keep it rubber-side down...

    Nah he can still steal then, cut off his thumbs and refuse him any kind of government money (benefit etc)

    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    Way to go. (Who said white boys cant run)
    We have to remember you have to go down a lot of steps then cross the path so off course you were tired.
    Great to see everyone is looking out for each other.
    If you are behind meDont ask as I am lost too.
