The man accused of being Toronto's most notorious bike thief has failed to persuade a judge to reinstate the bail revoked last December.

Looking dishevelled with long hair and a beard after months of incarceration at Don Jail, Igor Kenk smiled at his wife Jeanie Chung before he was led away from a University Ave. courtroom Friday afternoon after losing his bid for release.

"I'm very disappointed," his lawyer Lon Rose said as he left.

Before Superior Court Justice Robert Clark rejected Kenk's bid, he placed a publication ban on the hearing.
