My daily commuter Bianchi Pista got robbed 19/08 7.15pm by a 16-21yr old approx 5'6 male, full grey tracksuit, near Portobello. Spotted by a cycle Garda headed in the direction of Dolphin's Barn. Reward for any info leading to her safe return.




Added mavic openpro rims, same tyres and a small black bell since these pics were taken.

Lovely looking bike. Best of luck getting it back. I don't live far from Dolphins Barn. I'll keep an eye out.

Hi Folks,

Maybe I'm just paranoid but I saw these three guys on bikes as I was walking on Bridgefoot St. in Dublin yesterday. Not sure how to describe it but the (expensive) looks of the bikes (one of them bright red S-WORKS with a very distinctive type of frame and wheels) didn't quite match the looks of the users - tracksuit, no helmet or any other cycling gear.
It could be a coincidence and mean nothing but posting just in case.

Has anybody lost a green single-speed in the last few days, or knows someone who has?

A bike was found locked to nothing but itself on Harcourt Street or nearby on Sunday night/Monday morning. 2 rickshaw drivers saw it and moved it in front of where I work. Which sounds dodgy but they explained that it wasn't locked and would only be stolen otherwise to 2 of our security guys. At least near us there was light and cameras. So our guys took it inside as it wasn't safe outside us either.

So now it's sitting in my office, i will drop around to a Garda station on my way home to report it and see if they will take it in instead.

Anyway, if anyone thinks it's theirs can they PM me what their bike looked like etc.

Anybody lost a small flatbar gunmetal grey Lapierre?

Spotted an unlikely rider locally and reckon it probably could be recovered if it has been stolen. PM me for further details.

If I see a bike locked up that is the exact same as the one stolen off of me last year can I legally look at the serial number on it?

If it's in a public place I see no reason why you couldn't look right up it's down tube!

Saw a blue and white Pinarello locked outside Eddie Rockets on Camden St late Sunday night. Not the usual type of bike you'd see locked up, looked to have a really nice spec too. Just in case anybody is missing one

Hi guys,

Our garage was broken into the other night and 5 of our bikes were robbed. Would really appreciate if people would keep an eye out for them. The bikes are in the below post, main bike to look out for is a brand new Red Cannondale Carbon Synapse. Absolutely sickened about it and would love to catch the scum who did this.

Im sure you have but move whatever is left as there is a fair chance they will come back. Hope you have some luck getting them back.

What's the legal responsibility of the management company when the basement is broken into?

Cannondale CAAD Optimo stolen from Carrickmines LUAS stop this evening between 19:20 and 23:45.

Hard to tell from the photo but the front bottle cage is pink.

A bike like that left locked at a LUAS stop for more than 4 hours is going to be gone.

Strange, really - it would seem such a simple arrest for the Garda cycle squad if that's true.

Sorry for your loss but 4 hours in the dark, what did you think was going to happen?

I dont understand are you disagreeing and saying its a safe thing to do? I dont think there is a Garda squad devoted to bike theft.

Yeah, its not useful to Jack but a luas stop, especially Carrickmines, is the last place I'd leave a bike.

+1. I think some people think some stops are grand, no scumbags wandering around, no opportunistic people wandering about, the stop is off the beaten track etc.

I have not seen any, but I suspect you have thieves just travelling on the luas looking for bikes, they do not even have to get off at some stops as the bike racks are so visible, while you would have to get out of the actual station on a Dart. On a luas they could jump off and back on the next one without even having to pay again. (if paying at all).

The stops being so remote means there are less to see them cutting off chains.

George Hook probably lost his job for being perceived as doing what you're doing there.
Where's the outrage?:D

Nice idea from SF - "Is this a bait bike" sticker on bikes as a deterrent?

I shall explain.

If there is a place where it is known that theft of valuable property regularly occurs, it would seem that gardaí could arrest thieves easily, with a little planning and collection of evidence.

Still not sure what your point is or if you're disagreeing with me, all of Dublin is a "place where it is known that theft of valuable property regularly occurs" these days for expensive looking bikes and has been for a few years now, Carrickmines LUAS stop after dark is just a particularly suicidal place to leave a new looking Cannondale for a few hours.

If anyone is missing a JEEP MTB, I might know where it is now living. Feel free to PM me with a photo or serial number.

Just passed down Moore Street on the way to work. Easily a dozen people selling tobacco. Been going on for years. Everyone knows. Where are the police?

Hi Cyclists

 

I am posting in regards to a recent bike (my Daughters) stolen from the medical school car park at the University of Limerick on September 12th 2017 . It was taken from a locked car, in which it was semi dismantled, under a blanket and hidden from plane view. It was a sponsored carbon road bike from a company not yet selling in Ireland (Estrella bikes). It was in possesion by a young female triathlon Ireland development athlete. It was a 'made to order'/original bike and therefore I would appreciate if you are approached with any of the following parts to contact me directly or the Henry street Garda station. 

 

The bike components where as follows;

45cm Classica carbon frame with internal cables (Black/silver/grey graphics)Cero AR24 wheelsmix of Ultegra and 105 components (11 speed)Look pedals

Please see photo also attached. If you could keep an eye out that would be most appreciated. 

 

Kind Regards,

Paul.

It happened in the D6W area and I would appreciate it if you could keep an eye out on the off chance it's seen anywhere. Thanks a million.
