but they charge you £50 to have it released. i say chop it off. wankers. plus its very unclear where you aren't allowed to lock up, there's one sign (as far as i could see) on a small lampost near the starbucks, 20m or so from the road, saying 'don't lock bikes to this lampost' or words to that effect. It doesn't say 'don't lock your bike anywhere in this area, or we'll fuck your day up'. also, they'll even 'clamp' you if you free lock your bike whilst poppin in to aforementioned starbucks. They trie dthis to me once and I wouldnt let them, leading to a comical standoff. they really are scum.
