Say you are out riding on your own and you come across 2 or 3 bellends stealing a bike, what would you do?

Also if its your bike being nicked from outside your house what would you do then?

If my bike was getting nicked id be straight out with a baseball bat and wouldn't care what damage i did (i would aim for anything below the head atleast)

If i went past someone elses bike being nicked id love to think i would get off and challenge them, but then you are risking losing your own bike so its a hard one.

Probably do what most people would do these days, call the police and then attempt to video them whilst trying not to be too obvious about it.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

If not my bike and in public, call police, try not to draw attention to myself as a target because not worth getting fucked up over someone else's bike. (depends if crowd as well, if crowd present, make a scene)

If my bike, call police, probably become enraged / full of adrenaline and put myself in a worse off position than the thieves because I can't control my temper well and have access to objects that can be used as effective weapons.

For a strangers bike? nothing (nor would I expect a stranger to intercede on my behalf either).

For my Bike, call the police shout that the cops are coming and take their picture. I wouldn't go full fiighty as my life is worth more to me than my bike.

If it was one of my bikes I'd probably try to damage them as much as I could before either I got a kicking or got dragged off by someone.

Call the police if I see a bike being stolen. If it was my own bike I'd shout at them/call the police hoping they'd run off. If they didn't then that's a tough call, depending on how many they're I'd have trouble watching them steal my bike.

That reminds me I need to buy a crossbow.

I would call the police saying there was a murdering gang in the house and they'd already killed one person and were after the rest. They'd be there in a flash.

Been in that boat back when I was a kid. But they were just smashing my bike up outside the pizza shop in which I worked.
Put one down and got a few punches on the second, unfortunately there was a third I never saw and he was behind me and
armed with a motorbike chain. Twatted me with it while I had my back to him, fell to ground trying to avoid swipe two.
Was kicked shitless for a good 2 minutes. These days I'd have been stabbed. Fuck the bike. I have insurance, and
gap insurance. I couldn't straighten my head for about 6 weeks after my kicking. Wouldn't fancy that again.

Depends entirely on the circumstances.

Are you alone or in a crowd, how many of them, what are they tooled up with, have you got anything handy to help put them down, is your bike or your mates, maybe a strangers, is the bike decent or a sacrificial shitter...

So many variables.

Yup, I'd call the old bill and tell them there was a suspected firearm involved. They turn up pretty sharpish if there's a chance to practise the brap brap innit.

Oh sorry guv, he was waving his jacket around like there was a pistol or a shotgun under there. Hmm, go figure eh.

I'm glad to see there's not a majority of 'fite me brah' types piping up on BCF, you'd maybe lay the boot into their arse as they run off but in all honesty in this day and age it just isn't worth it. You'd end up much worse off.

Prime example; old boy farmer in my village just made the news a few months ago after he blasted a pikey in the foot with his shotgun. Bastards were parked up next to his diesel tanks in a Landy but weren't in the act of robbing him just yet. Silly old fart decided to open fire to scare them off and put one into the Landy and poor Dick Nobcock got his foot mangled. You can guess what happens next. Poor old boy ends up in front of Crown Court on charges of GBH and threatened with prison while Dick Nobcock gets a shitload of compo and let loose. In the end the farmer was acquitted with no charge but got left with a £36,000 legal fee that he couldn't pay. Internets got involved and crowdfunded it for him......

Saw.

'Saw a bike being nicked'

There.
You're welcome.
Please, don't mention it, I'm happy to help.
The warm glow of self righteousness and satisfaction I get from
pointing out others mistakes is reward enough.
I'm often complemented on it.....

If it was my bike i'd go in swinging, if i get hurt others will be getting hurt in the process too and I'd make sure i kept hold of one of them.

If i got a clean swing at one with my lid they wouldn't be getting back up and I'd then take my chances with two on one.
