Tyre-slashing man caught on camera having sex with bicycle

Swedish police hunting man who loves bikes a bit too much

Annoyed at someone interfering with his bike, a Swedish man has caught a bizarre bike fetishist red-handed.

Per Edstrom got fed up that someone kept puncturing his tyres and set up a CCTV camera to try and catch the culprit.

What he got was footage of a hooded man holding a piece of paper, getting intimate with the bike. The miscreant stands over the rear wheel of the bike, punctures the tyre and then masturbates as it deflates.

Police in Osterlund are looking for the velophile and believe there may be a link to a series of crimes in the area in 2007. A 35-year-old man was arrested back then for allegedly slashing the tyres of 20 bikes, before masturbating over their saddles.

Mr Edstrom says he is willing to forgive the man, but just wants him to leave his bike alone.  “I am not scared of him, just irritated over all the punctures I have had to fix,” said Edstrom. “This man is probably completely harmless, bicycles are just his thing.”

The video is frankly a bit ‘ew’ for a family website, although there’s no nudity involved. If you feel you must, you can watch it on YouTube.

Unusual as this story is, it’s not the first instance of human-bicycle sexual relations. Earlier this year, Danish police were seeking a man who repeatedly masturbated on a women’s saddle while her bike was parked at a train station.

And lest we think this is a peculiarly Scandinavian kink, in 2007 a Scottish man was sentenced to three years’ probation after being caught having sex with his own bike.

John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work.

He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history.

Since then he has worked on MTB Pro magazine and was editor of Maximum Mountain Bike and Australian Mountain Bike magazines, before switching to the web in 2000 to work for CyclingNews.com. Along with road.cc founder Tony Farrelly, John was on the launch team for BikeRadar.com and subsequently became editor in chief of Future Publishing’s group of cycling magazines and websites, including Cycling Plus, MBUK, What Mountain Bike and Procycling.

John has also written for Cyclist magazine, edited the BikeMagic website and was founding editor of TotalWomensCycling.com before handing over to someone far more representative of the site's main audience.

He joined road.cc in 2013. He lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.

It says something significant about wha this site has become that this 'story' is covered while the cyclist in Thanet who killed a pedestrian who was crossing the road gets ignored. Balance required.

Someone needs to point out that it is not the type of rubber you're meant to be slipping over for safe sex. It has made me laugh though 4

If w*nking over something is considered the same as shagging it, guess I can boast about having had all three of the GB Olympic Women's Team Pursuit team! 3

"Having sex with a bike"

It's an inanimate** object, therefore, is he not just sh**ging it?

**Yeah, yeah, I know...not all of the time, but when it's left to its own devices it is.
