guys you dont need stickers ! Just do it I have never had anyone complain about me doing it and I have never complained eithier …what possible reson could you object
It’s a great idea…except that it’s not always compatible with trying to keep your chain in a fairly taut and off-the-ground state (to make it harder for someone to cut it)
I’m not sure why anyone would get arsey if you looped your chains together, you are not touching their bike, not moving it, just helping each other out?!
I was at a mates place in Chelsea the other day and noticed that all bike bays had anchors, which i thought was a great idea, or if not an anchor, a fence that you can lock it to? My road has those on them…
Its the deterent that will stop them they are opportunists type! I’m defo up for it…
Chunky - this is a great idea - the LB stickers idea is helpful - I’ve always made a point of not touching other people’s bikes/scooters in anyway - if I start doing this all the time do you reckon it might **** some people off - how about mass producing a card or note explaining that you’ve threaded your chain through theirs and why
If you want to register and pay money to lock2lock then go ahead and give them a tenner.:w00t:
I’m just suggesting a free alternative. I’m just asking the question that if someone saw an LB sticker on a bike, would it be safe to chain to their chain.
i’m game… is there any protocol on where to stick the stickers? I would have put them on my wheel cover as it is large, faces up when locked and close to the chain… ?
I’m with you there, except that I would still try to chain mine up so that the chain’s taut. Note: I DO think this is a great idea. I’m only pointing out that in SOME cases it might prove difficult in practise.
Not particularly, this is not what was suggested by my posting those URLs.
It’s a worthwhile question, one that I could only say yes to. Feel free to chain your chain to my chain.
Might I also suggest that the idea be proposed in other online biking communities such as CBC, Visordown, BCF etc. The more people are aware that this might happen and the reason for doing it in the first place, the better for all.
