@StolenRide My one-of-a-kind classic Vitus 979 was stolen from my apartment in Hackney/Homerton 2 days ago. Fixed gear, Campagnolo Shamal front wheel, white Selle San Marco Regal saddle with copper studs. Built up over the last 10 years this is a v special bike to me 😩
Morning Monday!
Dawn over Venice (@WikiCommons) with Reali this morning, plus Ravel’s fascination with mechanical toys, Clara Schumann's impressed by Brahms’s String Sextets, & Bach reminds us we are loved, even in evil times.
And that's all before 7 on @BBCRadio3!
Kettle on!
