Can we only do that to bike thieves though ?

It is the US - people go shopping by horse!

This bloke got his horse out of a trailer, presumably put the saddle and the rest of the horse apparatus on, and managed to catch up with the bike thief still in the carpark?

Open trailers in the USA, so faster & easier to get the horse out. Also, if he was on his way to something, that horse was probably tacked up. It's more of the done thing in America with working horses and riders.

[QUOTE 4317715, member: 9609"]there are plenty of people round here travel with their horses all tacked up, at a local forestry car park they just arrive, drop the trailer door, climb on and off they go - I've even seen some of them driving there with their helmets on, clearly no time to waste.

It is a wonderful story but as Adrian says I am struggling with the timescale of it all. The theif should just be happy the cowboy didn't have his branding iron all heated up.[/QUOTE]
It'd stop him riding off for sure.

Chain's slack. Saddle's too low. Typical noobie!

[QUOTE 4317828, member: 9609"]the rope looks like it is round is foot how do you lasso his leg whilst he is peddling a bike.[/QUOTE]

Says thief got off the bike and tried to leg it.

Is it just me or do others imagine Clint Eastwood coming out with those quotes?

That is not a chain!

There was a UK program

I think it was called"SWAG" or something similar

They would prank would be miscreants

One of theirs was a bike that spray painted the would be thief from a setup in the headset

Reading the comments below the line on that story, I'm actually starting to side with the bike thief.

It's not often that I'd agree with Jeremy Clarkson, but I think he was right when he reckoned that there are places in the US where people have started to mate with vegetables.

My corn thoroughly resents that remark. I'll have you know there is no cornication going on here. In Tazewell County? Well, they're a bit odd.
