Currently I'm kidding myself thinking my bike is safe enough in Manchester over the summer, in a garage, with an alarm. The
more I've read through posts on here and seen people's signatures with bikes marked as stolen the more I'm starting to worry.
Because I'm a young rider, I can't afford anything other than third party only insurance for this year, nor could I replace
the bike if it was stolen - so it's all or nothing.
So could people detail their own security measures? Or even their experience with having a bike stolen?
I need to buy a chain too. So any advice would be useful. Since a chain shouldn't be something which needs replacing,
I might as well get a good quality one. Anyone had experience with Almax?

They state their chains are simply the best. Any good alternatives?
And on a very slight side note, soon I finish my degree and I'll be joining the real world of work, and I will eventually
need to get my car licence - and a car.
Not a nice thought. Anyway, what are your thoughts on having things like
"Think Bike, Think Biker" bumper stickers? I appreciate seeing them on cars when I'm out, but do you think it's unnecessarily
advertising the fact you (probably) own a bike to potential thieves?
Thanks for replies!
