Yeah I was looking at that one - it is about a five minute walk from our new office so I'll have a look - cheers

Cheers for that - I think the one nearer to Maid Marian Way is the closer one for my new office (Hound Gate I think it's called?!).

Thanks anyway - good to know I've got a choice!!!!!

Either that or if you take the 1st right ( going up the hill ) follow it round to the back of the britannia hotel, theres one or two there with a solid metal fence to loop a big chain round.
I and a few others have parked our cars there for a week or two without any troubles.

there has been occasions when people do that they arrive one day to find that their lock has had glue or something else poured into the lock making it unuseable. the owner then has no option but to leave the bike unchained all day and the perosn who tampered with the lock knows then that the bike is not secire.

i been thinking about this and if someone wants your bike, they will take it. I find using a less desirable bike makes them think twice about nicking it. but i agree with disco locks with alarms, and chain around a post.

and maybe a teddy bear with a gun sitting on the back

My old bike came with added security - not sure how effective it was though.....
