Goodbye Bicycle

Today, some callous bastard has stolen my beautiful pride-and-joy bicycle, that I have owned and treasured for three years.
Just in case you happen to spot it, it is a brown Raleigh Esquire, gentleman's three-speed city bicycle, with a large wicker basket and dynamo lights. Particularly distinguishing features are that the front right hand corner of the basket suffered an injury and so was a bit broken, and the chain guard a bit dented and put back on with a shiny silver nut. Also, the reflector was cracked in half on the right hand pedal.

May you rest in peace.

Oh, and to top it all, there is nothing similar in any of the bike shops around Cambridge (and it's hard work going round them WITHOUT A BICYCLE).

hey, i have the same bicycle (without basket) but i don't know how to get the dyamo working, there is this thing on the brakes and there's obviously a swith on the light. How does yours work, is there an on and off?
