The "Star-Fury"

'take me drunk. I'm home' special

Looks just the thing for me - I need a rear seat, or maybe a trailer, for Mrs.B.

well - insurance paid out...meet my new love.

I will of course be investing in a decent chain!

She looks like a beaut, JD!  Here's hoping you're able to enjoy this one for a good long time.

...how about spare on the security equipment and getting an ordinary trekking/city bike - abused shitty rundown and rusty from eBay below 30 pounds, so that nobody will ever touch it  ...and use that for the day to day, like riding into the city 'n such  ....and save the millage on the wonderfull new racing machine 8)
i estimate pedalling will be pedalling and so its still a workout, even so without the refinement on the racing bike handling skills.

I do have a mountain bike....but it doesn't matter - that would get stolen. I'd buy a new one and that would get stolen. The upshot it - people steel because they can.

Also, I generally go on an extended bike ride after work...in the winter 10-15 miles and in the summer anything up to 30...that's during the week and after work.

I know for a fact I wouldn't cycle home on my other bike, get in, get the new beast and take her out...I just wouldn't do it. All sorts of things like smelling home cooking, or the kids being home or any other number of "homely" things will keep me from going back out...especially in winter.

So if I am going to keep up my cycling and my fitness - I need to take my bike to work.

Rather than have to think about things like that, I would just like the work to take security of items on their premises more seriously...but that's something I will be discussing with the director.

You can't put it in reception or an inside stockroom?

I can't tell if it has a quick release front wheel or seat but this could work.  I had a friend in college who got his bike stolen so when he got his new one he would lock it up then either take the seat or the front wheel with him into class.  Never had another problem.

[JudgeDredd]

Front wheel is an option...but if they saw the bike without the wheel, they'd just turn up and have a van parked round the corner.

If they're determined enough, nothing will put them off. All I can do is slow them down - and hopefully my new lock will do that


I actually have two big chains like this as the guy at work has lent me his motorbike chain.

Your camera takes pics with the right date... WTH????

[Staggerwing]

That's usually just a setting on the camera itself. Turn it on or turn it off.

That looks like a good idea, but a bit expensive tbh
