Bike theft

Very nice piece of writing by Andrew Gimson whose bike was nicked.  I share his feeling although what I experienced was nothing compared to his.

I do believe now that a bike is not just a bike. For most of us a bike is like a faithful friend. It is with us come shine or rain, day in day out.

So when 'your faithful friend' is no longer there, it seems like half of yourself has gone. No? Just ask Andrew...
