How about spending half of it and saving the other half?

The only real theft hotspot I know of is Scorton village where I've heard of white vans pulling up and several bikes being chucked in the back. It's near Lancaster and has easy acess to the M6 and is well-known as a cyclists' favourite spot. Never heard of thefts from Chipping or Dunsop Bridge though I wouldn't be surprised. What does surprise me is that no bikes have been stolen from outside a well-known bike shop and cafe in Clitheroe; good bikes and shop stock are always outside the cafe door, unlocked and there's very little view from the cafe area.

That'll be The Green Jersey in Clitheroe,i take it? Our club goes to a cafe in Scorton and we leave our bikes unattended. I'll remember your post the next time we go and tell them to lock or keep their bikes in view.

Flippin' 'eck.... you've been lucky then!

Have you tried the Apple Store just over the other side of the motorway? Much nicer, much quieter, nice big glasshouses where you can all sit and loads of room to leave bikes in full view. Oh, and the biggest scones ever! Just cross the bridge and bear left and keep going 100 yards up a lane.

Where's the fun in that?

Over the last 18 months I've watched 2 mates die of cancer, one was 48 the other 56.

Life isn't a dress rehearsal. Buy the bike and enjoy life.

With you on that SF.

Watched my Step Dad go at 59 from the Big C ....

Always worked, never claimed a bean, never had expensive holidays, boys toys, flashy threads, didn't drink, smoke or gamble & saved his pennies.
Paid into the system for 44 years & gone before he drew a penny back out.

Save a little, Live a Lot.
