My bike was stolen from outside IKEA on Tuesday! If you'd buy me a coffee or drink in person, would you chuck a fiver in to help replace it?
On Tuesday, my bike was nicked in broad daylight from outside IKEA in Bristol. Bike crime in this city is pretty awful: my bike was secured with a proper D-lock and nothing is quick release.
Nonetheless, they got it - and it's very unlikely it'll ever be returned. My bike is my main means of transport and I'm a little stuffed around Bristol without it. (Not to mention that cycling is the most carbon-neutral and healthy means of getting around!)
I'm aiming to replace it shortly, which will leave a sizeable dent in already-stretched finances. While I know there are a great many pressures on people's cash at the moment, if you'd like to help me out, I'd appreciate it massively.
It's rare that I ask for help and feel a little awkward doing so. But I work really hard for poetry, poets, and in the various projects and roles I fulfill - for pretty modest remuneration.
So if you can spare a fiver to help get me back on the road, that would be wonderful.
Thanks so much in advance.
