A picturesque location for parking your bike.
But, don’t leave it too long. These bikes next to it have been stripped down. A few weeks ago, I took a photo of the Ammaco bike, with all its equipment
Shame, quite a nice bike to be left on the railings for bike strippers.

Bike Locks reviews
90% of bike thefts occur in public places. Only 1% occur from someone’s home
I’ve had two bikes stolen from my brick shed in the space of 1 month. Alright there was no real lock on the shed and no locks on the bike the first time. The second bike had two locks (1 D-Lock, 1 cable) and the shed door had a proper anti-bolt cutter padlock. Had the second bike less than 12 hours, £400!
The insurance has just agreed to pay for a replacement. This will be Sold Secure Silver D-Locked to steel railing outside a 1st floor flat and in front of a recording CCTV camera. Any bets how long I get to keep this one for?
I don’t understand why people lock only their frame when they could at least lock their rear wheel with it. I put a D lock through the frame and rear wheel and a cable through the front wheel and saddle then through the D lock. Takes a minute or so but it is worth it not to come back and find most of your bike missing.
