Sorry your bike got stolen. The annoyance doesn't go away; I should know as I'm still annoyed at the theft of my Diamondback BMX 30 years ago! :) >From casual observation, a lot of bike infrastructure isn't designed by practical cyclists. I appreciate that someone took the effort to enhance cycling infrastructure, but they're doing it in a way that most practical cyclists won't find particularly useful. Bike racks are one fantastic example. Why are they usually out of the way, and shaped for inconvenient locking? Worse, I've seen too many that are not at all secure, due to simple oversights such as having nuts or bolts (affixing them to the ground or building) that can be removed quickly and silently by simple hand tools, thus negating even the most secure bicycle lock. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
