It is yes. Problem is those fences are next to horrendous ground, bumpy and overgrown by weeds.

I am not sure it is "that bad" there, I know it is not ideal but I see lots of bikes on display in the street, at least mine is down a dark country road and not very visible... (actually that could make it worse)

Can't you secure it to your car or to that fence that is in the photograph?

Not really - that car is one of many in that communal parking layby. No guarantee where any space will or wont be when riding.

The fence is railway property and also the area by the fence is very scruffy, undulating and overgrown etc. Even then it is a very flimsy fence - a "pathetic" border that is bendy and poorly made.

Could you put a chain round the telegraph pole/Bus stop overnight to secure it ?

No, cant improve the current situation. I have had loas of grief about where I leave it from my neighbours, even though it is communal parking. Its very unwelcome amongst the residents and could not block the pavements etc

pff, if its communal then they cant whinge too much. If they absolutely positively have to have a whine about something then make sure the can on that bike is nice and loud so they have got something to whine about.

Looks very good condition! Although regarding the price i paid £1950 for an almost identical bike from a private seller. Main dealers are rip off merchants if you ask me!
