    Saw this at the train station, seems a bit risky.

    1 lock and only through a the rear wheel 😯

    Either a bait bike, or a very silly owner.

    I really hope that is insured, through the rear wheel is stupid!

    It’s a 26″ though. Even scrotes can’t sell those, so no need to lock it at all really.

    Just seemed odd, it’s a touch over biked for a train station commuter. Then just to lock it like that, very odd. Wonder if it was a bait bike. It’s a London(ish) station so not like rural Devon

    Wonder if it was a bait bike

    Suspiciously clean, too. With stock tyres, I think. So it’s possible.

    makes sense to lock up a bait bike by the rear wheel as everyone knows thieving chavs can wheelie so they could still ride off with the front wheel removed.

    Bait bike I’d say it’s even got the reflector on the front wheel

    Its bait, i.e the rozzers are across the street keeping watch, and after seeing Tiger taking a pic/unhealthy interest, they are currently securing a warrant to raid his house thinking he is responsible for 50% of the local cycle theft statistics 🙂

    Which he will be by the time they charge him 🙂

    Rozzer.. “Are all these bikes yours sir?, can you explain why you have six bikes?”

    Me.. “FFS! You sound like Mrs Tiger!”

    Some people will walk into a bike shop to buy a mountain bike to cycle to the station. And despite the good advice from the salesperson suggesting a value oriented hybrid, the customer will have made their mind up. The risk of pushing good advice too far is that the customer walks out empty handed.

    Or it’s a bait bike.

    Does anyone really believe the five oh have resources to stake out a bike like to his?

    I’d be surprised…

    Be surprised. Pretty much every day business in some parts.

    I’m not saying that one is though.
