Not trolley

A snap of a ladies bicycle which has been chained to the railings by the West Hill bridge for some weeks now, a bicycle which I have straightened at least once.

But despite the continuing dearth of trolleys, not in the running, being chained to the railings. Not really a collectible or even a returnable.

That apart, how long will it have to be there before someone has the wheels, not included in the chaining arrangements? How long will it be before the council men sweep it up in one of their sweeps through the borough? What has happened to the owner of what looks like a relatively new bicycle?

Or is it that I get up too late these days to see the railings before the owner goes to work? Spot of record keeping needed to get to the bottom of the matter. Perhaps a note of exactly which rail it is chained to? Or a long hair carefully pasted between cycle and rail, after the manner of James Bond?
