It's the price of the bike overnighting on the pavement in Brixton. Nowhere else for it really. Well, there are, but they're even worse. It's got a Squire sold secure gold lock and chain on the rear wheel, which I hope would need two batteries if someone went at it with a grinder. And it's got a new shitty lock just for the cover, because someone nicked the old cover a couple of weeks ago.
I really don't think a proper thief would ever want a K series, but I'm debating whether to get a second serious lock and chain. With that I could reach the neighbour's big metal fence. I think he'd be OK with it, as it's social housing and the chain would be covered and I'd take care not to chip the paint. And we get on OK. I helped him by writing a letter once.
Or I could put the second lock and chain on the front wheel. I don't know what's best. Am I missing the obvious answer? The more I spend on huge locks and chains, the more the local cunts will want to lift the cover to check out the bike. In doing so they'll eventually break some plastics, knock the bike over, etc etc.
