Kelly Brook’s Skyride tricycle is stolen

It has become traditional for a scantily-dressed Kelly Brook to be photographed alongside Olympic gold medalist Chris Hoy on old-fashioned cycles to publicise the annual Skyride.

At the official launch of the Skyride this year, model and actress Kelly Brook rode a Victorian trike while Chris Hoy used an Ordinary, or ‘penny farthing’ bicycle.

But bicycle industry website bikebiz.com reports today that the Victorian tricycle has been stolen from Leicester charity, Cyclemagic.

Thieves smashed down a door and took thousands of pounds worth of modern bicycles and as well as the trike.

Cycle insurance

The best protection against cycle theft is a good insurance policy.

Cycle insurance from the ETA includes new-for-old replacement, third party insurance (in the case of an accident you may need to seek compensation or even deal with a claim by someone else), personal accident cover and if you breakdown, they will even come out and recover you and your bike.
