Spotted my first stolen Boris Bike yesterday being ridden around the back streets of Kingston by some oik who works in the supermarket. Had all the Barclays branding stripped of it. I wonder if there is a reward scheme for information leading to an arrest
Fat lads take longer to stop.

lol yeah, don't think he'll last long.
Saying that - if he's making a statement and setting up an alternative "free bike" system whereby anyone can borrow his nicked bike for short journeys then fair play. Doubt it somehow.FCN 4 - BMC CX020 -
im not up with these "Boris bikes" but, to lend them do you have give credit card details or something?
if so someones going to get a shock when they get their statementKeeping it classy since '830 -
Yes if you don't return it you get charged £300 possibly plus a £50 hire charge for 24hrd rental.
However I assume said pikey will have used stolen card to release teh bike in the first placeBianchi Infinito CV

I should think this is the most likely scenario. Should have reported it to the police or Serco or whoever it is who manages the BoBike scheme...Do not write below this line. Office use only.0
