Lol best thing is to buy a new one... or if you know who stole your bike go beat him/her up...i remember my friend doing that lol
having a bike license is really stupid, its not like the police are gonna check everybody's bikes for a license. tbh they prob wouldn't even care bcos its not like it is extremely expensive. i do feel sorry for u m8 that ur bike was stolen. just don't put ur bike in the same place that it was stolen ever again and if u do see someone with ur bike, i would highly advise u to push him off the bike.
5 bikes and all had 5 different bike locks? best thing just buy and old seconh hand bike... costs little and no biggie if it gets stolen... my friend had a funny story... he rides an old bike and always forgets his lock so doesn't lock it up at uni... but when he goes home he locks it outside his apartment and it gets stolen .. lol
yep, nothing you can really do about it... at my college (UC Davis), everyone rides bikes everywhere... there's even a required bike registration... my first bike was stolen, while I was in class, in the middle of the day, right off of campus... but the police and transportation services couldn't do anything about it... my solution was to get another bike and to make it look old... I spray painted it an ugly color and taped electrical tape over the handles... it looked pretty bad, but it was never stolen, even when it wasn't locked. =P worked for me, might work for you. =P
