Day off and spending some time on here with R2 on in background. It may or may not ruin my day.

Registration numbers to identify all bikes. They already have one. It's called a frame number. He is proposing a whole new bureaurocy. Police randomly stop cyclists to check if you are riding your own bike. What an airhead!

Channel now changed.

How would that work? Would you have to inform the police every time you lend your bike to someone or sell it? What a load of carp!!

The journo who had had his bike stolen five times was still using a cable lock. Surely after one theft you would make sure you had a decent lock, but five times and still using a crap lock - shame on him.

I've got a foolproof method of preventing bike theft.

Don't own one.

I listen to Jeremy Vine for just as long as it takes to get to my radio and change the prog.

Good choice of guest and topic, one journo hack interviews another about theft of his bike who comes up with off the scale ideas to try to prevent it happening in the future. Was it a slow news day? Had he used a good D-lock and common sense then he still might be able to ride his bike. What a numptee. The thieves not only stole his bike but his brains although they might have already ditched the latter by now.

I quite like Jeremy Vine but his brother is funnier

..... The thieves not only stole his bike but his brains although they might have already ditched the latter by now.

There's an unreasonable assumption in there somewhere. Clue - This numbskull went on using a cable lock AFTER the first bike was stolen!

I've got a foolproof method....although it involves blowtorches, sharp knives, lumps of wood with nails hammered through, handcuffs, gaffa tape and petrol...........

And a long sentence in prison if I get caught.........
