A GP who spent months building a bike with his best man before his wedding has had it stolen from outside the surgery.

Doctor Dave Triffitt said he used the bike to cycle to patients at home in Oxford.

He is based at the Summertown Health Centre, which is where the bike was locked up before thieves slashed the lock and rode it away.

Dave Triffitt 

The doctor, who lives in Oxford, cycled around 10 miles a day on it – but it was the sentiment behind the two-wheeled bike that made it even more 'devastating'.

He said: "I built the bike with my best man before I got married 11 years ago.

"It wasn't an amazing bike, but I've just had it for a really long time. It also has loads of stickers on it, a lot of them from when we lived in Canada. I naively thought nobody would take it."
