From TheJournal.ie:

"Man charged following armed robbery at Dublin shop
The man fled the scene on a bicycle after robbing money from the store yesterday.

A man in his late 40s has been arrested and charged following the robbery of a shop in South Dublin yesterday.

The man entered the store, on Walkinstown Avenue in Dublin 12, just before 5pm yesterday and threatened staff with a knife.

He stole a quantity of money from the cash register and fled the scene on a bicycle.

Gardaí arrested the man a short distance away and recovered the cash. The man was detained at Crumlin Garda station under section Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.

He has since been charged in connection with the incident and will appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice tomorrow morning."


Something like this, maybe?

All cyclists are criminals, deviants and plague spreaders, so this is hardly surprising.

Spot on! I wonder if he was wearing Castelli and was riding a Trek Madone SLR 9 or Pinnarello Dogma F12 though? He got caught so can't have been very fast, doubt he had any KOM's. Do we think he at least managed to get his ride uploaded to Strava? I mean, if he didn't, then all this never happened, surely?

I'm kind of hoping the police were on bicycles too, possibly with Keystone Cops music.
