Does anyone know if there are any bicycle racks around Covent Garden? I've struggled to find any free lamp posts/railings around there in the past.

    Welcome :-)

    One of the things that worried me about cycling in London was the availability of cycle stands.

    You can also use http://maps.camdencyclists.org.uk/ and select an area. Then click on the 'Show stands' key at the top right of the map.

    It's a bit slow though.

    Hmm. Make sure you lock everything to the bike.

    I lost forks, bar, stem, shifter etc when someone did a 'pro' job on my nice new bike. They couldn't get the wheels and the frame, but everything else was lifted while I was at work.

    The local council in Bristol cleared a load of D-Locks from outside a bar in Corn Street recently despite the agreement of the bar managment for cyclists to lock their bikes up outside the bar.

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I've used the racks near Covent Garden's main drag recently - they get horribly busy, so if you head a bit further north there are some more that are less crowded

    sorry can't tell you where - it was near Belgo's if that's any help!
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    There are some near the Lyceum on the corner of the Strand and Aldwych. Nice and busy there to deter most theives.

    Thanks guys. I locked my bike (using two D locks and a cable lock) to some racks on Drury Lane while I went to the theatre and am happy to report that when I came back my bike was still as I'd left it.

    I've parked there a few times, whilst in the pub mind.

    Call the cops, drunk in charge of a 'bent!
