PB, are you at BPTT every Saturday? I am trying to work out a Saturday that I could come down... can't do this coming saturday, but possibly the one after? The 11th that would be I think?

haha - could be good tri training. I saw one triathlete on Channel 5 finish the cycle part of his race carrying his bike - can't think what his name was but it was inspiring.

If I'm ever there with my bike you're welcome to share my lock. I carry a 4kg chain with a mini D lock. I have a smaller U-lock but the chain is easier to carry as I can wear it.

It was pretty cheap too at £50, I paid another £50 for teh Abus mini U-lock

Thanks Kieren, but I really am determined never to lock the racer other than inside somewhere safe... even in a car I hyde it under a blanket.

I have an abus motorbike lock for my foldup... it weighs twice as much as the bike and probably about half as much as me :-)

Had one like that before, still got cut... people go around with battery operated angle grinders these days. I have my commuter foldup stolen on average once every 8 months, even though I take it inside wherever I can and have this incredible lock...

wow - that's tradgic. It annoys me so much.

I wish some bright young upstart would place more bikes that are set up to be stolen so we can catch these guys but that is probably entrapment

Han - if Puff's not around then you can leave the bike in our lounge - it can talk to Sir Cannondale and Lady Trek.
