Quick Question - bike locking location

rick_chasey

Quick question.

Will be locking my bike up in the middle of Clapham tonight. Out with friend to watch a film (Bourne film, unfortunately).

I presume this is fine, and Clapham isn't the kind of place where every third bike gets nicked?

first hour good, second hour average.

Yes, or maybe no. Bike thefts are kinda random I woould say.

Are you asking this more to reassure yourself?

I've never been in Clapham for longer than an hour.

Clapham High St is a curious mix. You have sloanes and Hugos, sh1tfaced Ozzies and gangsters.

If its the Canyon... no.

The Kona... might as well.

I used to regularly lock mine up outside the Sainburys, was always there when I returned. Like anywhere, lock it properly, in a well lit area, with a lot of foot traffic, should be fine.

However, I have seen a few frame carcasses around there over the years too...

You'll be fine, you only own two bikes right?

I'm going through an N-2 phase at the moment :shock:
One was too big, the other two small. The Tempo is just right
