It is racist to imply bikes are stolen by Poles and probably also to say that a shitty bike not worth selling round the corner for £20 is worth hauling all the way to Poland.

No, of course. That's why he had to specify a country. :-)

Sometimes we're being racist even though it's not on purpose. Unfortunately we're all racist up to some extent; myself included.

// Unrelated fun fact after checking your profile (I was trying to get some context for the discussion): If I'm not mistaken you're a Brit living and working in Barcelona. I'm from Barcelona, but living and working in Britain :-D
