I was just reading your BR thread about cycle infrastructure when you posted.<br /><br />I posted a thread up on Bike Radar here <br /><br />http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12724754&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= <br /><br />and the suggestion about using torx bolts makes good sense. As long as too many people don't do the same,I suppose. If using torx becomes more common, thieves will start to carry torx tools with them. For now though, if you've changed some of your bolts over, and the bike next to it is standard, your bike will be safer...Marmosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393430738344326838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559664335242446983.post-301431921364197602010-08-26T12:41:56.761+01:002010-08-26T12:41:56.761+01:00Very sad.

I mean the bike is as good as stolen - unrideable. <br />I am sort of worried that this kind of theft will become more popular, since it's easier to sell parts then the whole bicycle - especially if they are premium parts.ndruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324118775089929952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559664335242446983.post-36516891095704080192010-08-25T08:47:47.302+01:002010-08-25T08:47:47.302+01:00Not nice.

However I do realise I'm very lucky to have secure parking for it both at home and at work.Deptford Damehttp://deptforddame.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
