My bike was stolen last weekend. Which sucks, but there's no point crying over spilt bike. At least it was cheap. And the point of this post is not to whinge, but to tell you that right now I am answering an ad in Daily Info for a "Small Female Mountain".

(What makes a mountain female? What gender is, say, Mount Fuji? Or the Matterhorn? Actually that one's easy. How small is small? The size of an Irish mountain? Is it a bonsai mountain? Otherwise, how the hell am I going to collect it?)

Thanks. To make matters worse, it was stolen from inside a yard, not on the street. Jo tells me this makes it not just theft but burglary :(

Assuming it wasn't somebody from one of the other flats. Doesn't remove the scummy-bagness, but might aleviate the burglary charge.

Did it have any identifying marks to pass on to the police? I've had two bikes stolen. One was recovered. The give away was that it was red, with red handle-bar tape, and a red saddle, on a 25" frame (ie. large :), and the saddle was raised up an inch beyond the safety mark. There was a knack to riding it, and I was amazed to get it back with a broken kick-stand, but the saddle hadn't been lowered!
