Two London lads got into the spirit of Christmas by surprising cyclists with bicycle makeovers.

Over 20,000 bikes are reported stolen in the capital every year and London cyclists Joe Bullock and Tom Preedy know the tale all too well.

The owners of Leyton Bike Shack have heard many stories of woe about stolen bike parts and as cyclists have experienced theft themselves.

Hidden cameras caught the Christmas bicycle elves as they worked through the rain servicing the bikes, upgrading parts, adding new gear and of course Christmas wrapping them.

So watch out London, you might just get lucky next time you leave your bike locked up.
