Was a decent lock used? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19472#post-302061 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 15:58:43 +0000 fimm 302061@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I always lock mine through the little rear triangle. But I only leave it outside the office and outside the Commie regularly. I do lock it other places too. Not everywhere lets you take a Brompton inside. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19472#post-302059 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 15:51:07 +0000 Tulyar 302059@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spotted a cobalt blue &amp; a lilac (pink) Brompton locked up to bike stands in Edinburgh very late at night - seemed to be left there for the night, with bikes in unfolded state. Highly unwise, especially if done on a regular basis. </p> <p>On very rare occasions that I've had to lock up the bike I fold it and pass the lock through the full folded package and round the locking point, making it very hard to cut the lock.</p> <p>Really do need to make folk aware of how vulnerable Bromptons are when parked like this. </p>
