This article in road cc talks about high end bikes getting stolen whilst being ridden, mainly in That London. Not having a fifteen grand Pinarello, or riding much in That London for that matter, hopefully it's not a thing that will directly impact me.

More excitingly, Charlotte's favourite rozzer gets name checked in the article.

"overhaul" it, or you can ride it.  (Jerome K Jerome)

Maybe get some pepper spray.  Illegal in the UK I know but you get to choose whether to keep your bike or not.

if someone is taking your bike chances are they are with a friend. they might offer you violence poss threaten you with a weapon. Just let me get my pepper spray out of my jersey pocket/saddlebag might not work.
