With all due respect, will this survey be of any benefit?Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.0

Of course not, it's for school. It takes 1 minute to fill in, give the lad a break.0

No probs, I don't like the phrase either but I find it works when you don't know someone and would like to show politeness.Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.0

He he he - I always think the expression "with all due respect" means what comes next is an insult
My boss (ex-Army Warrant Officer) always, ALWAYS used the expression when insulting officers "With all due respect Sir, you are a complete idiot"
However, in answer to your question: Yes it will be of benefit. It will allow a 3rd year student complete his assignmentChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Just as well I filled it out when I asked the question then
I think you might be a bit sensitive if you think that was an insult or just bored maybeTraining is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.0 -

Gotta salute your attitude MickeyEye. There has been way too much smugness and sarcasm on these forums lately. I'm sure that Northstar didn't mean anything by it, especially having read the ongoing comments. But people have recently asked some perfectly normal questions on here and been gunned down by comments made by idiots.
But going back to the survey. If it's of any interest to the OP, I think that the problem faced by many of us is not simply the theft of the bike, but all the bits and pieces attached to it. A locking pannier, now that would be a welcome invention. If a little heavy.0 -

If someone is determined to steal an item they will almost whatever precautions you take, so I think you only need to design to deter the casual/opportunist thief (anything more will not be cost- or weight-effective). So, on the pannier idea, perhaps suffiicient wire mesh loops around the pannier to be able to run an extension cable through them and keep the pannier shut. I wonder how that would work with roll tops?
What about non-security deterrants (e.g. those stickers that make a bike look rusty - could I really do that to my pride and joy)?
Oh, yes, I'm off to fill in the survey ....0 -

Filled in - what the survey doesn't take into account is that alot of us have different bikes for different situations.
I.e I'd never under any circumstances be prepared to lock my Madone up outside, in fact the thought of having a D-lock go anywhere near the frame fills me with dread.You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quin.0
