Really sorry to hear about this happening to my previous 'bent. I agree with other comments - possibly a ned and it may therfore have been dumped as they will have struggled to ride it or stolen to order. </p> <p>I will obviously keep a look out for this pretty unique really in the UK, let alone Edinburgh with its distinctive colour and upgraded terracycle idlers.</p> <p>I came across on facebook "Stolen Bike Register Edinburgh" - it might be worth posting there along with velovision? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127386 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:48:55 +0000 SRD 127386@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@LB try pitching it to them. they're running a story tomorrow on a throw-away tweet of mine from this morning.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127385 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:46:16 +0000 LaidBack 127385@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes. Thanks for your interest and concern. Could be a good EN story mind you... Thieves have run out of 'proper bikes' to nick etc....</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/10141982615/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7346/10141982615_7b55225354.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/10141982615/">Challenge Fujin SLI</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/66067108@N08/">LaidBackBikes</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127379 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:37:17 +0000 Cyclingmollie 127379@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>kaputnik: <em>"it's not like anyone could ride the thing away (without a lot of practice and some discomfort)"</em></p> <p>Go further, faster and in greater comfort I think you mean. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127357 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:39:29 +0000 Dave 127357@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tempted to go for a roam around the area on the MTB now... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127350 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:54:39 +0000 Min 127350@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Really sorry to hear about this.

Hope to hear some good news soon .. SRD's probably right .. the recumbent community is so small that it'd be near-unusable without being spotted; perhaps it's just a ned who stole it and it might be in the bushes nearby?<br /> Best wishes for good news anyway .. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127335 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:57:27 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 127335@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think SRD has a point - surely that's the type of bike that the thief will clearly realise very quickly he's no idea what to do with it... (unless stolen to order?).</p> <p>Sorry to hear about this David, bad enough having a personal bike stolen, but when it's part of your business there's even more impact. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127325 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:09:58 +0000 SRD 127325@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>i would think that some time spent scouring the gullies and shrubs up that way might be a good investment?</p> <p>was a kayak pinched a few weeks ago. found very near by, behind some bushes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11292#post-127322 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:55:49 +0000 DaveC 127322@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry to read this Dave, hopefully it will be advertised locally and someone know knows you will alert you to it.

Went last night from Mortonhall Campsite.<br /> The bike is without seat pad so not exactly comfortable to ride.<br /> Think this is the first recumbent to have been stolen in Edinburgh. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/10134228995/"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2870/10134228995_96cdea80b2.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/10134228995/">Challenge Fujin SLI / Terracycle upgrade</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/66067108@N08/">LaidBackBikes</a>, on Flickr </p>
