If they're a 'known gang' why isnt something done, even just a police presence for a bit because apparently they know who to look for so can put them off ??

Every time I come back home cycling from the station I have a look back to see if there is no one following me or even if there is anyone that I might consider suspicious I ride around the block before get in my home.

Also they've been targeting races, last bds a girl got her giant glory stolen https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =1&theater.

Something else worth mentioning is not to start/stop your GPS/Strava at you house...and also make sure any photos don't have GPS tagging turned on..modern technology eh !

Sad as is maybe don't take photo with your race number on next also next to your vehicle.

Hard to stop others.
Very easy lookup name of owner then find were they live.

Paranoid!

Aside from keeping your bike in eye-shot, what do you do when you're on all-day missions with your bike? I can't be fecked carrying a d-lock all day...

nwmlarge · **Posts:** 3548 **Location:** essex

I stay with my bike all day or a friend does. no other option

They haven't invented the super light, super compact, sustainably sourced, ergonomically designed indestructo-lock yet?

damn :shock:

Nope i think a local remote mini gun would be best, tree mounted which puts down warning shots when the bike is approached
