Bike Burglar Window Shops on Local Raleigh Rides

Here’s a story from my neck of the woods…. about a fixie-riding, KOM-holding, bicycle thief.

Christian Browne rides a fixie in the Raleigh NC area and holds KOMs on Strava. (Seriously? He must be using the Nibali bidon pull.) Browne is also a bike thief, and, by the sounds of it, a pathological liar.

Browne hung out on the local rides, scoped out the high end bikes, then nicked them in the evenings.

He denies he’s guilty and wants back in, but the locals are having none of it. Good for them.
