Bike Description

We had a our beloved Dawes tandem stolen from our underground carpark in Edinburgh. It is very distinctive electric blue Dawes Discovery Twin tandem with many upgrades. We are hoping the lowlife puts it on gumtree or eBay as we’ll be able to spot the bike a mile away. We think it was a targeted theft as it was chained up with 2 other bikes and the other bikes were left behind. My partner has MS and this was her only way of cycling so we are hopeful of finding it. Please contact me or Lothian Police Scotland on 101 with Incident number: 1856 - 08/07/2015 if seen.

Theft Description

It was taken from a secure underground carpark with entry gained by entry fob remote.  The tandem was chained to steel beam with a second bike chained over it.  The cables were cut and the second bike left behind. Getting the tandem out of the carpark would have been an effort, as it weighs 20kg. It would'e been a planned theft rather then a random theft.

Recovery Description

Word of mouth, tell everyone in you club, your group rides etc. But it turned up because someone saw the bike and searched/saw it on stolen-bikes.co.uk
