Bike Strategy. Cheap and no worries.
When my bike had magically disappeared on Sunday morning, I was annoyed and unhappy as I am when my stuff gets taken away from me. But, luckily, my grand master plan, David's Bike Strategy has worked out: Buy a cheap and tatty looking one, do not spend big bucks on it, and don't worry too much if it gets stolen. Because every bike will get stolen if you ride it.
So, my white Raleigh bicycle is in the hands of (presumably) some local neds now. Just like the nice Trick Bike that got nicked two years ago.
My new bike only cost £50 at Edinburgh's awesome Bike Station, and as you can see from the picture: it's a bike with character. And it rides .. great! Brakes work, goes down steps, loves the Edinburgh cobble-stone, and is fast almost like a city or road bike. I'm a happy camper!
