What bikes do you park next to?

[Mr Foldy]

I lock up Mr Foldy on bike railings sited near the security desk. I'm usually in first, and there are between 2 and 4 of us who cycle. Quite poor from an office of a few hundred - but at least I get parked easily! I'm usually next to quite old, and quite sensible, racers and hybrids. There was a flash Boardman for a few weeks in the summer. Its funny to contrast the bikes which work for a living all year round against the more faddy efforts.

A green and yellow thing with a step thro frame and no gears has just started appearing in our bike shelter. It is absolutely covered in flowers -looks like wallpaper! No idea who's it is.

My friend parks his red Triban 3, he's a 10 mile commute each way....There's a Carrera Virtuoso, no idea how far this chap cycles in but he strangely throws it in a bush everyday, even though there's loads of places to park more civilised....A new Hoy hybrid....A Dawes under a rain cover, no idea about this but I know its old and he loves it....others are old rusty mtb bikes.

Mine has it's own space!

Mine can be parked next to anything from a Dunlop special mtb to a variety of rather nice road bikes.
Our racks are a mish-mash of horrible wheel benders so I tend to put mine out of the way where it can have something to lean on and lock up to (hardly anyone else bothers)

 

[Linford]

A single speed and an E-Bike

 

[Hip Priest]

Mainly other hybrids.

Do you fold and lock or leave it in bike state?

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Wouldn't it be theft? Also it's got a D-lock on .

Couldn't it fall under a private citizens version of 'Eminant Domain'?

I need to fold for the bus, but at work Mr Foldy is chained road ready. If it was less securely parked I think Id take it inside tho.

I ask as my research into buying a folder continues. Thanks

I don't use the works bike cage as working nights, I lock up at bottom of stairs in staff entrance behind a keycard locked door. Only 4 of us ride in on nights but they are all BSO.

[Cupra]

I park next to 22 kegs of beer at work.
When my friend is round I park next to a trek madone 2.1.
At my brothers I park next to a Dawes Discovery.

 

[EltonFrog]

I park next to my wife's bike, which is the same as mine but WSF.
