A really nice dutch bike was stolen off a porch between 6 pm on December 14th and 11am on December 15.

The bike is a Batavus Breukelen step through bike - matte black, seven speeds, roller brakes front and rear. The bike had both a u-lock and a rear wheel lock engaged when it was carried away.

any info? please contact Flying Pigeon LA at 213-909-8986 or info@flyingpigeon-la.com

Swept handel bars and a fully enclosed chain, matt black frame.

Here is a better photo, hardly any one rides this bike so the thief should stick out like a sore thumb.

$1,150.00 bike
swept-back handle bars
matt (dull, no shine) black frame
no visible breaks (they are enclosed in the hub)
fully encased chain.

There are literally only about a half dozen, if that, in Los Angeles. Please be on the look out, it's her only mode of transportation.

Stolen in Sliverlake yesterday on Manzanita Street.

***The rear tire rim may have been cut and forcibly removed so the rims may not match now because there was a tire lock attached to the stem that prevents the rear wheel from moving, so they would have had to cut the rim and replaced it and taken off the attached lock.***

I'll definitely keep my eye out. I remember seeing this bike before. Just not after it was stolen...

It's possible the thief removed the large plastic chain guard housing so as not to make the bike look so conspicuous.
