Also write on laminated paper your name and mobile number, nothing else. And put it in the bars, seatpost and bb.

Won't that add weight?

Owned by my friend Bugger is, I had a bike registration event last week, and get my bike this week. The police said I have to wait until the next one which is ages away

Use invisible ink.

This also prevents identity fraud by the thief.

Veloviewer encodes the image URL for signatures now, so worth generating a new signature code if you don't want people on here to be able to find your Strava profile and potentially view your rides through Strava's lapse security.

Sorry, in English please.

Really? Even if you have the "request to follow" feature turned on?

Not good.

This is why I took myself out of the CC group and our 'works' group, stopped a certain someone getting any more info

To whom it may concern,
If you're reading this to locate bikes worth stealing - go ahead punk make my day!
All you need to do is get past the 2 armed guards on the gate to the base.
Guess the combination to my block.
Pick the lock on my door.
Silently extract my bikes that are never more than a few feet from me.
In fact, sod it! If you get as far as my room I'll help you carry them to your car

The old code it gave you to copy paste into your signature used to include your Strava ID, which essentially is the same as giving someone your Strava profile link. The new version of the signature image code hides the ID. From someones profile page on Strava regardless of their security settings you can view some/all of their rides without much effort. There is the potential for someone who knows or finds out your Strava ID/profile, to see your rides and figure out where you live or work. The problem is entirely Strava's, but the newer Veloviewer sig. code (which you are already using) helps to hide your Strava account.

Apologies if that isn't very clear, I don't want to post anything that might be helpful to stalker types

Thanks-I think it's sorted. You could delete most of your post above.
