How to 'lose' a bike in 1 day

Yesterday I tweet about finally getting on the wheels again after 3 months heartache of losing my bike. Closed a quick sale for a deal from gumtree at 8pm only to find that it wasn't exactly very suitable for my size. Decided in the morning to list it back on gumtree and was quite lucky to get a few interested inquiries over the day. Eventually sold it to someone from Lewisham at 10.30pm although I did pity that he had to cycle back in a snowy night (Yes, it's SNOWING in Oct!!!), but glad that I can continue on my bike search again.

ps. the picture is probably terrible at showing the snow (I in the middle of central London, so snow doesn't accumulate). Chaitanya's picture on his FB is probably much better.
