I try to be a grown up and keep my bikes in the shed and not in my kitchen and some git steals the best one.

Quite gutted about it really – I’d done well over 5,000 miles on that bike.

Back to keeping my bikes in my kitchen it is then!

Farewell, trusty steed.

If anyone sees a silver and black (with black and grey tyres not red as in this photo) Specialized Tarmac Elite being ridden by a chav in Crewe, let me (or the Police) know!
