Done!
Nice to see it was a short 'un. I get bored when people ask me to fill in pages and pages.

Done...
survey contains too many yes statements on the last question, ie. no option for "no, I'd use another secure faclility"
Which leaves you feeling forced to say "yes, I'd use it" because the alternative is "no, I don't care about cycling infrastructure"
This leads to bias in the survey.

Hey,
thanks so much for all your thoughts on the topic.
Especially thoughts on the survey (twiggy)
I don't want it to be biased so i can get an honest opinion of the cycling public. I'll see if i can change it without affecting all the results.
I'm a big fan of the booby trap methods but not sure glasgow city council would be up for installing them around town!
I cycled up to the rack at uni i park and there was a guy levering a lock with a screw driver. He kept going even though I was there. When i spoke to the police they said most bike thieves are on drugs and don't even realise you're there! I grabbed his hand and yanked off and he ran away. It's crazy how blatantly people steal bikes.
take a look at bikeoff.org it's a great site for designing out bike theft
Cheers
Stuart

How about a very simple sticker on the frame that says "GPS Tracker fitted"
The kids on my patch have been told that police bikes have the device fitted and for that reason don't knick them. Criminals by enlarge are not the brightest of people and are very concerned by the "Big Brother" thing.... they may well belive it!
