Stolen bikes update:
One souvenir from the bikes saga is all the police paperwork. We only got 4 documents - whereas the file on the lead cop's desk must have been at least 50 pages. Prob more.

STOLEN BIKES UPDATE
Our beloved Surlys are back in our possession. After 90 minutes of paperwork at the Smichov police station in the presence of an interpreter.... and actual judge, we got them back. And they're 95% ok. A few new scratches, a broken rear carrier on Callie's, and a missing rear light on mine. I have them a good clean in preparation for their train ride across Germany tomorrow. 1/

Plan update (or otherwise)
We were scheduled to catch a train to the French border today, & three days of cycling along a canal would follow.
Obv that can't happen while our bikes are in limbo, so the new best case scenario is a train tomorrow + two days of canal. Beginning to suspect even that might be over optimistic.
Mere trifles compared to the amazingness of our bikes being recovered tbh

Morning update for those of you who are following this crazy journey.
The bikes weren't delivered back to us last night. The manager says we will get them when we visit the police station at 1pm for our statements to the judge.
Which means, among other things, i needed to find a clean shirt lol

UPDATE 20.50
Just got called down to reception for a progress report from the hotel manager. The police will be bringing our bikes TONIGHT. possibly at 10pm, or 11pm, or even midnight. But definitely tonight.
Also we have an appointment at the police station at 12.50 tomorrow, where a judge (yes, a bloody judge!) will take our statements and formally sign the bikes back over to us.
Cue exploding heads in room 24

Just turned over that same menu and this was on the b-side. Where have i seen that image before?

The menu cover on our table at pivnice U Buldoka, where we're celebrating the IMMINENT RETURN OF OUR BIKES.

I mean, what are the chances of THAT???

We haven't seen them yet and don't know their state. I expect there will be stuff that needs repair (hopefully the batteries are still on the bike as they will be VERY hard to replace at short notice) but those are just details.
Jeezus what a ruler coaster day!

THEY FUCKING FOUND OUR BIKES!!
The Prague police found our bikes. On the other side of the city. Arrested the thieves. We hope to get them back tomorrow (our amazing policewoman liaison is speeding everything through as we're tourists), so we will only lose a day of our holiday, and can still have summer cycling in France after all.
