Put a carrier bag over the saddle for added sh***er appeal!

I used to take my bike into the bank (anyone remember those?). Natwest in Taunton was upstairs in the good old days, used to get some funny looks that's for sure.

I'm so looking forward to having a bike that I'm not going to be worrying about every time I leave it locked up. I'll still be pissed off it does get nicked, but nowhere near as much as with my other rides, which will just be used for recreational rides.

It's a shame how bad we have let this country become. Of course there were always thieves, but crime was once at low enough levels so that most were investigated. Now the police just outright say that they don't bother about bike theft. And it's not just locked up bikes that are at risk, there have been several incidents recently where cyclists have been stopped by urban youths on an e-scooter and told to give up their bike at knifepoint.

We're approaching the stage where simply going for a nice ride on a well loved bike becomes a risky endeavor.
