Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Count me in. I'd love to learn about bike maintenance, I'd love to help recycle the thousands that get dumped each year.
Happy to help whenever I can.
Jo, that sux. A bit like all of the other advice, if you only have a small place, I'd try to find some way of even mounting it to a wall if you have to. From my understanding, due to the turn over in stolen bikes, Crime Converters must now hold on t…
I`m 5`7`` it fits me well but has easily adjustable seat post.
It would have to be short term as it is the only bike I have that can tow my trailer for shopping and old dogs excersions,
The offer stands though just leave it indoors as I do with most…
One thing about locks is to have two locks of different types, eg: a u-lock and a cable lock - that way the potential scum bags who are scoping to steal your property have to have two types of tools to break the locks with - check http://www.streetf…
Hey Jo
I keep between 4 - 6 bikes in my living room at any one time :-)
- if you have high ceilings you might be able to use a pully system to store it out of the way, may even be able to get my hands on one if you are interested (a friend had one t…
Thanks Jeremy. I didn't have the frame number, apart from always locking things (mine had 2 bike locks on it) I don't usually concern myself too much with the thought of theft. Lesson learnt!!!!!! I've been to the police, they've suggested I try the…
Cheers Jim, my bike had 2 locks on it, but they used bolt cutters on it. Clearly they had scoped the place and had a good look at what they were after. B***ards!!!! I might take you up on the offer of a loan bike while I wait on my insurance company…
That's exactly it! It has 2 bottle cages, one metal, one plastic and mountings for a front and back light. I've just been to the police and they've suggested I leave it a couple of days and then have a look at the cash converters in Brighton Rd.
Th…
Let me know if this link didn't work... you can see the pic here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/15023856@N00/71682116/
That's crap Jo! Maybe a storage solution like this might be needed for the future?
Oh and I have a hybrid bike for short term lend if you need it as long as it is well locked up.
So sorry to hear of your bike being stolen. I hope it is returned in the same new condition it must have been in.
I was knocked off my new bike today its bad but hopefully not too bad and my injuries aren`t too bad, hip, shoulder, elbow.
But as you…
Ah crap!
Jo, What area are you in? These messages get Tweeted out to the general Adelaide (Online) community.
I hope you get it back and as Jeremy has said I'm sure someone would be able to get you a spare.
Hey there Jo
Sorry to hear about the theft - what sort of lock was it? I did an interview with the Messenger once discussing how to best avoid having bicycles stolen (I know 20/20 vision does not help much here, but happy to post some tips for futu…
