What to do if someone has locked their bike to yours?

How are you going to stop bike thieves borrowing the grinder?

Also you might want to edit that post to remove a mention of something which should not be mentioned.

Looks like its been done.

I think we'd have to be convinced as a group an d if we weren't then we don't help? We all have pics of or can prove a bike is ours right?

The latter is the only way to ensure thieves do not borrow such tolls, which is why the trailer in the same place, not that a thieves have much used for a trailer that is.

Anyone got any suggestions? I left my bike locked up outside work, now I see someone locked their bike and mine with a chain and padlock. It sounds like they're trying to get to me to leave my bike there. What can I do to liberate my lovely bike? :(

Be careful though, thieves have been known to lock a bike to another, wait for a time when it's quiet then unlock their bike and cut your lock

Buy a hacksaw, and cut the other bike off yours. Ride your bike home, and remove the lock at your leisure.

^This

^^ That

Alternative, buy a hacksaw, lie in wait for the erstwhile thief, hacksaw their legs off. Walk home sans bike but with very smug expression.

Unlock your bike and put both in a taxi and take them home.

Assuming the other bike is just locked to yours, and nothing else.

Buy some petrol, say your goodbyes and torch both bikes.

THIS TEN MILLION TIMES.

Who does that? Not a proper cyclist, so no need to feel guilty.

Any updates?

I've had this twice recently. Really farking annoying...

SOHO, shit rattle canned baby blue fixie gets locked to mine with a cable. After asking around and waiting for 30 mins I started picking/sawing through the lock until the owner turns up. After explaining to her what I was doing and why she still couldn't care less nor understand what the problem was. Some people are just dopey.

Then a week later at a pub, another bike, this time d-locked to mine... OK so at the pub, likely it's someone inside. Go inside find the person, again, couldn't understand the fuss "oh, I just couldn't reach the post so I just locked it to the nearest bike" I just scowled and said unlock yours as I'd like to go and it is a massive problem to do this...

"oh, I just couldn't reach the post so I just locked it to the nearest bike"

Kill them with fire.

What really annoyed me was that she started by batting her pretty eyes and thought I'd be all chummy... fark that. Your are an annoying, inconsiderate person - pretty or not.

There might be some way she could make it up to you, though.

and here I was imagining dungeon scenes...
Ironing is much more useful (if I owned anything that needed ironing...)

you should iron your sheets. it's changed my life

(Clarification: me ironing my sheets has changed my life - you ironing yours will probably have minimal impact on my life)

Dont be so defeatist! Him ironing his sheet may have a wonderful impact on your life!!

Do you make the bed before the ironing?

Call the police again and ask to be in touch with the cycle task force?

surely this whole thread is within the remit of the Cycle Task Force?!

A new, 30-strong Police Cycle Task Force hit the streets of London today, as London's police forces, the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) published a draft plan for tackling cycle theft and vandalism in the Capital.

enquiry sent about this very scenario (!)..

.. keenly awaiting delivery of the Cycle Task Force Locks-in-a-twist hotline, :-)

stop rerailing!

stop rerailing!

sorry - was late visiting the thread (!) - ChainBreaker Task Force?!
