A Greater Victoria cycling advocacy group’s distinctive custom cargo bike – stolen from outside its office – has now been recovered, says the Victoria Police Department.
The distinctive electric bike was parked outside Capital Bike on Hillside Avenue when it was stolen June 20 between 1 and 8 a.m., the non-profit group said in a callout on social media.
The green-framed bike features a huge wooden cargo box in front and is branded on all sides with the Capital Bike blue logos.
