A Facebook page to help find stolen or missing bikes in the Aylesbury area has been launched.

Stolen Bikes Aylesbury Vale was created on Monday, March 1, with their aim being to reunite cyclists who have had their bikes stolen and then dumped within the town and its surrounding areas.

They also aim to return bikes to their rightful owners, if someone claims that the bike belongs to them after it has been taken. 

The page was set up on March 1

In a brief Facebook post, the page has explained to all cyclists in the area, that most bicycles have got a unique number attached to the frame.

They have recommended that cyclists should make a note of the number and 'to put it in your phone as it’s easier to prove it’s yours’.

Back in 2014, 14 bikes were pulled out of the River Thames following a huge operation to clear out items that were thrown into the famous river.

Other items such as trolleys, skateboards, traffic cones, prams/strollers, and carpets as well as hundreds of bottles were pulled out of the river seven years ago.
