After His Bike Got Stolen, This Guy Became 'The Peddler' Who Fights Bike Crime

Reddit just can't get enough of The Peddler, who's literally the new Batman, but fighting the bike theft. An anonymous hero from South London went viral on Reddit after he posted on r/IAmA subreddit. In the picture, one can see a guy in a flourescent jacket wearing a black helmet on his head.  The caption read as follows: "This guy calling himself "the peddler" wearing a velodrome helmet and balaclava is returning stolen bikes (including mine) from online sellers and patrolling the streets making sure bikes are properly locked up and registered online. He was just interviewed on the radio!" 

The Typical Student team learned more about The Peddler and he got his well-deserved fame. Who knows, maybe he's a student in disguise?
