I've had a look and couldn't find anything specific, so feel free to link me up if a thread exists, but has anyone got any useful tips and tricks for minimising the chances of getting your bike nicked when out and about?
I bought what I thought were reasonable locks, a couple for each bike, locked them in a prominent place (that I wrongly assumed was covered by CCTV) and still ended up walking home from the local leisure centre.
I'd really like to cycle to the gym, but having been bitten and looking at the bits of bike lock scattered near the front doors, just daren't do it. The manager's sympathetic and doesn't seem to grumble at people locking their bikes up as near to the foyer as possible but I'm still not convinced.
One trick seems to be to buy an absolute pile of scrap with no resale value, which I'd certaiinly consider but it detracts from some of the pleasure of riding.
