"if it ain't fixed it's broke" 25 trips to the shops, left outside unlocked every time, and *still* nobody will steal it! You've gotta stop shopping at "Ye Olde Worlde Wares". People probably think the bike's there as a prop! |

I used to leave mine leaning against a post unlocked when I could see it in the hope that someone would have a go. I figured I could get out there and recover the bike while they were picking themselves up and examining their road rash. |

Today in Civic (Canberra) I walked past a fixie that had a pretty big ring on the front an a moderate one on the back. No brakes, toe clips. It wasn't locked, but I thought 'not to many of those who would steal it could ride it!" |

So there's no honour among thieves, but apparently there is some sense of pride ;-) It'd be funny if it wasn't so obviously true! Maybe I should attach some sort of token locking device to make it appear as though it's valuable? ;-) BTH |
