Was out in the centre of Edinburgh today and nipped in to a book shop ,was in roughly 5 mins ,went back to unlock the bike which was locked up in a M/bike parking bit some swine had locked a Kryptonite M/bike chain through the back wheel .Much cursing and raging followed which resulted in me having to go get a spanner and undo the back wheel which i then relocked up with the u lock and then walked home ..not happy ...
Went back with a hacksaw after 6 tonight and cut the offending chain and got me wheel back ,having had a few words with some fixie mates it seems this is the usual ploy for thieves to get bikes ,i bet they were a bit surprised to find that their ploy didn't work this time .
On the plus side i end up with a fairly heavy duty chain which the u lock will fit through but after due consideration it only took about 20 mins to cut the bugger through and it is fairly heavy .But it's always nice to get one up on those swine ..
