Death to flip flops!

Do you actually eve flip? Or flop for that matter?

Loads of options for nice track hubs

..?

Want the option to run whichever takes my fancy. Found some now anyway.

St. Andrew's car park bicycle compound, is it very secure? I need to leave my bike for a couple of hours and I'd like to think it was locked somewhere safe.

I've never locked up there but I remember someone talking about it on here a while ago? I'd imagine it's fairly safe, there's never really that much activity down there apart from cars using the car park. Not much help I know, sorry!

Whilst we're on this topic, where else would be safe to lock in the early morning in the city centre? I recently re-joined The Gym (on London St.) but apparently bikes get nicked from the racks there all the time. I was planning on going before work so probably around 5:30-6ish a couple of days a week for an hour or so.

@Rikki Just lock at work and walk back down?

I did think of that, I was hoping for somewhere a little closer though I probably will end up just locking at work

Or cycle further and skip the gym?

I'm back into going to the gym again, protein shakes and e'thing, it's two months until I go to Turkey and have been adding to the post Christmas timber, time to sort it out!

In other (better) news, my beard is growing back nicely...did get rid of it for the start of the new job but no one seems bothered so it's coming back!

It's fine I locked my bike up there all the time last year and still do every now and then, there is always a security guard there all day and night, and they regularly check the cage at night, Just make sure you have a good lock, as the cage isn't always locked

Double lock outside the tesco? Plenty of traffic going through that it would be hard for someone to get two locks off, the side street near the gym however i wouldn't say is walked down as much

It'll probably be there or outside Lloyds. Work would be the most secure but I don't want to cycle there only to walk back where I'd just been and then walk back to work again!

Leave your bike at home, run to work, skip the gym? Or leave the gym at home, ride all day, and skip work?

The latter sounds amazing!

Have you had a chance to pick up/ride the Concorde yet @hudsoncjnr

You and I need to have words...

@jdp Oh sorry, of course, how inappropriate of me...

Would you like to come too?

Work it is then!

Unfortunately not, long story but hopefully to be resolved soon

Cheers, chaps. I double locked it in the compound and it was all still there when I returned.

Glad to hear, may have to start doing the same.

@jdp that video has made me mega paranoid to lock up in the city now, my eye-assaulting blue frame isn't exactly inconspicuous..

In that video she does appear to use a strawberry lace instead of a lock!
