  • Seems like there's been a big increase in thefts from these things. I had my bike stolen from one last month. Looked as though they had disc cut through the lock to open the whole thing up then cut through whichever locks they fancied.

  • Sorry to hear that. Yes, perhaps it's just that streets under lockdown don't lend themselves to passive surveillance. Thieves may (correctly) believe that they're less likely to be disturbed. Sometimes, all it takes is for that deterring worry to be taken away.

  • Also, once there is success using a method, they will inevitably rinse, repeat until no longer viable.

    Saw a different hangar the other day, much bulkier. Assumed a new competitor for Cyclehoop or perhaps a prototype. Anyone have info? (it was barn shaped, not hangar shaped) and looked to have reinforced / covered eaves. Could have sworn it had the CH logo on it.

    Either way, seems councils and manufacturer(s?) are aware of the new threats.
