Hello, recently I had my bike stolen from just outside one of the university buildings. I relied on it to get to and from uni, and not only was it something I needed for everyday travel, it was also a trusted method of exercise and leisure.

I had done pretty much everything by the book, I had locked it outside, in an area of high footfall, in somewhere I trusted.

Unfortunately it just so happens bad people are around and I just don't have the funds as a student to replace the bike, the panniers, both locks, lights, waterproof trousers, a toolkit and the helmet. All belongings I had for my bike were stolen.

Thank you for your time to read this. It would mean the world if you could donate even a tiny bit to help. I have other large costs in the following months including a student visa, travel and accommodation to France in September so this is just not something I can do alone.

Thank you to everyone :^)
