Bike stolen at Olympics ceremony
BILLIONAIRE'S BIKE STOLEN FROM CITY HALL
John Caudwell, Britain's seventh richest man, had his £5,000 bike stolen while at an Olympic torchbearers' reception at City Hall on Friday night. http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view.php?ArtID=1068 No catty comments please - having a high profile guy like this cycling is for the good. "Caudwell is a keen cyclist and regularly rides the 160 miles from the Phones 4U head office to London for business meetings." In this case I think Guy Chapman's solution could be augmented by using the Olympic flame. |

Errm, I think the bike in question was one of those that has an engine rather than the type you pedal, either that or if he really does cycle 160 miles on a regular basis we should get him in the Olympic team rather than attending Olympic receptions... -- Cheers, Steve. Change from jealous to sad to reply. |

Take it all back, it was a pedal bike - blimey... -- Cheers, Steve. Change from jealous to sad to reply. |
