Caerus Posted April 28, 2011 Share Eish man, so sorry. Go check out any pawn shops/ 2nd hand dealers and start trawling Gumtree. Just a quick note, why are people not locking their bikes when at home? It may be a pain in the arse, but seems to be a necessity these days.

Zerin Posted April 28, 2011 Share Thats really bad Not nice to experience after just moving in. Are you insured? Our bikes sleep in the lounge next to the couch that our male GSD sleeps on. Still not a sure fire way of keeping the bikes safe, but I like to think they dont need to be locked to something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would require a lot of time or have a blow torch with them to get the bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerin Posted April 28, 2011 Share Thats where your'e wrong, Even though my bikes are all inside( 3of them) they are all chained together. They would require a lot of time or have a blow torch with them to get the bikes. I cant be bothered with that. I often grab a bike and go around the block and having them chained would make it a hassle to grab and go. If they can get into the house for the bikes, after getting over an alarmed electric fence and roboguard beams, then they are welcome to the lot of them (two road, two mtb). By that point my interest would me in keeping us and the animals safe, sod the bikes Although i would hope the insurance pay out. Do you chain them just to each other, or to something else as well?

All to each other, Im not taking any chances, the chains are all top level and cost me about a grand each( I have three). It takes me all of 30 secs to unlock them all. You might find insurance companies may start implimenting this as a pre-requisite to payout. I know my mate didnt get a payout recently cause his bike was not locked in his courtyard, in his property within a gated complex & alarms.

Just a quick note, why are people not locking their bikes when at home? It may be a pain in the arse, but seems to be a necessity these days.Looks like bicycles hanging/standing loose in a garage is quite common. Lock them up.I recently had my dad built racks from which the bicyles rest on the top tubes, and bought two cable locks, wheels frame, everything is locked. No one's gonna take my bikes easily...
