A good case for drive belts then, the Dutch know what they are doing when it comes to commuter bikes.

At Christmas 🎄though it would need festive re-wrapping with tinsel 🤣

The other trick is to keep the bike in the box it came in.

I did that. I just cut a couple of slots in the bottom so the wheels were out and a section out of the other side so I could climb in.

I suppose it's rather like the sad habit of keeping the plastic covering on the back seats of your car to increase the second-hand resale value.

Who buys a car with rear seats?

People who put a box of tissues on the back shelf.

Not me. I just strap my passengers to the roof rack.

I just make that not a problem by never buying cars.

Some people like being tied up, or so I've been told.

My Dad was a lorry driver, I learnt how to do good strong knots!
