Stolen bikes

Yes. I've learned a big lesson today before anyone says anything else.

Lack of lock knowledge is a dangerous thing. I feel such a twat which just adds to the gutted feeling

it's impossible to know these things, without someone telling you.

personally i think all bike shops in and around london should tell everyone buying locks to buy the ones that work,
and to let them know that the cable locks are merely shoe laces in the fight against london crims walking round with bolt cutters.

lesson learnt the hard way.
