A young Whanganui BMX rider is appealing to the thief who took his bike on Sunday morning to return it.
Ryder Hone got the Haro Shredder model BMX bike for his birthday last November and says he was getting pretty good at riding it.
The six-year-old St Anne's pupil said
he was building up to doing some tricks on the bike.
"Please bring my bike back," he said.
Ryder and his family were staying at a unit behind the Kingsgate Hotel and mum Jess Hayward said the bike must have been taken while the family slept.
