Cycle Security-Todays London Paper

I think the best way to defeat this kind of stealing to order is to ride a really obscure kind of bike , like my SS recumbent and lock it up with heavy duty locks. Not sure there's that many people in the market for something so unusual

Dont be so sure

The sad thing is that i reckon a lot of the bikes that are stolen are ridden around for a couple of days then dumped in a canal/river or similar - younger thieves in particular only steal them for the buzz, might flog em to another youth on the manor, but generally just nick em, ride em till their bored of it then dump it
