His name is Robert Stewart, he has admitted sexual breach of the peace and has been placed on the sex offenders’ register. He was in a hostel bedroom which was unlocked by cleaners who caught him copulating with the bike.
Richard Alleyne of The Daily Telegraph notes that this is not the first time somebody has been convicted of sex with an inanimate object — an electrician was done in 1993 for having sex with pavements.
Bryony Gordon muses:
He was in his hostel room at the time, behind locked doors (staff went in when they got no response from him). It was between him and the bicycle. I’m not sure I would have called the police had I caught him riding his bike [as the hostel manager did]; probably I would have just screamed and run away and then think that maybe he was just confused by somebody who had told him that the local bike would sleep with anyone.

I have so many questions on this one….
I didn’t know “sexual breach of the peace” was a crime category or that getting it on with a bike was worthy of being placed on a sex offenders’ register. But more to the point, I want to know *how* a person gets it on with a bike- that must be a logistical nightmare? Personally, I will, from this day forward, feel guilty when I ride my bike. 🙂
