Lock your bike and lose it...

Yep, whoever it was I wrote to about this back in january was well pissed off at having the LCC get everyone to write to him. Said the only bikes that would be removable would be ones that caused an obvious or dangerous obstruction, and that this is already the case now.

That answer sounds like it is a way of avoiding the question - if the councils can already remove bikes that are a dangerous obstruction, why would they need new powers?

I still say write to the guys - it doesn't take a great leap of the imagination to think what Councils will do with these extra powers when you see what they have done with the RIP Act.
