Reward! Find a lost bike!

    Last Saturday night at about 4a.m., I fell off my bike and dislocated my thumb (no comment) but I can't remember where. I locked my bike and went to hospital. Thing is, I can't remember where my bike is now.

    The bike is a green peugeot europa and has a silver MET helmet attached to it. It looks a little like this although mine is a bit rustier:

    set-72157627304957499

    I presume I left it somewhere between Leeson Street and Dublin 12 (home) but I'm not sure. I have tried looking everywhere en route (all three or four routes) but can't find it. I may however have gone for a kebab in Zaytoon (either one) on the way home but I'm not sure.

    In short, I can't contact the taxi driver (I just stopped him along the street and I paid in cash) and I don't know where the bike is. If anyone on here can find it, there is a €50 reward. To claim it, pm me if you find the bike, we will arrange a meet up time and place (somewhere near the bike but not at the bike, obviously, so you can trust me), we meet up, you bring me to the bike, and I give you the reward. Simples!

    No photo of the bike ? I live practically in Temple Bar. If you post a photo I'll keep an eye out ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Go up to the North Cumberland/Hill Street market on Saturday morning.If it's been stolen from wherever you left it there's a decent chance it might end up there.

    if your bike is anything like that, i hope to god you never get it back.

    where are fecki.ng lights? Plus you were drunken cycling:eek:

    If a car driver hit you or if you fell off your bike under the wheels of a car, it would be the drivers fault, they would lose their licence and possibly serve jail time because of your complete and utter lack of respect for anyone.

    if i see it anywhere, i will not be telling you where it is

    You should not be allowed to have a bicycle.:mad::mad::mad:

    If, as you say, you locked the bike, how is the finder meant to bring it to meet you?! :)
