For anyone who lives on the Island this will come as no shock really. Most people will know someone who had either a bike stolen or at least some wheels or the classic approach to being unable to steal the bike and just giving it kicking. Fuckers.
Read this article in The News about the experiment and make your own conclusions. I had a bike stolen from Fratton Station years back, but must admit I was just using a basic Halfords bike lock that any idiot could cut. I since spent out and bought a proper NYC tested Krypotnite Lock. Dont’t give them the chance. Recommended.

A good bike lock pays for itself.
I have to laugh when my bike is eyed up whilst I’m peddling it. I’ve found that if you cycle bow-legged Towny style no one eyes up your bike

Dr.Nick has the best theory on ‘Chavs on Bikes’. Why do they pedal around in the lowest gear, legs like bees wings going nowhere? Because that’s the gear they stole it in and don’t know how to change up.

They do go about on low gears don’t they?
Could never understand that……

For that reason, and more, you should begin a ‘Dr Nick Thought of the Week’ too..

I’ve spoken to Nick about doing a day in the life type thing. Meet up at 6am and roll with him at work for a few hours.
