things happen, for the record my bike, when i am transporting it, is in my little saxo.... front wheel off
maybe a better design of roof carrier is needed? that or a claymoore?
Two lads tried taking my bike off of me. That was England. It happens everywhere nevermind Turin.
I don't reckon any one would leave a £20 note on the drivers seat of a locked car, but some people are happy leave a 2k bike on top of it!! I'm not gonna say they're asking for it cos people shouldn't take other peoples stuff, but unfortunately they do, so you have to think about.If you have so much money that loosing you bike doesn't matter then fair enough, but i don't so mine goes in the car.
pretty much spot on there...
not that i'm criticising any roof rack users or any victims of theft but sometimes we only become more wary after the fact....a case of "once bitten twice shy"....
I'm a bit late to this thread, but want to comment because I had two bikes nicked from the aforementioned Thule proride 951 racks.
It was 2 weeks ago in Keswick.
Firstly, some of us don't have vans or cars big enough to get bikes inside.
Secondly, if you are on a weekend away "going straight home" is not an option.
Sometimes bikes need to be left locked on a roofrack. I think making sure you have good insurance cover, registering on the bike Register www.bikeregister.com and backing up the Thule system with a good chain or D-lock is all that can be done.
