    Seems a reasonable punishment for the crime. I'm not quite sure how they make out he was a serial thief of expensive bikes though, he stole at least 6 and they valued them at £4k :wink:

    So in summary: Criminal caught, convicted and punished.

    the article says wrote:
    He also admitted six similar offences – involving bikes worth £2,600 – which he asked to be taken into consideration.

    Idiot - if he's kept his mouth shut they would never have known.
