CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not resolvedWe’ve aged through childseats, brakes for small hands, and other challenges…
Soooo…. What locks do we send them off to uni with?
Mini-SRD has a small hip lock but we’re thinking something more flexible needed but also something pretty strong ? Silver rather than gold probably?
Bigger Q is ‘what sort of bike will they be happy leaving around?’
Lock plus https://www.apple.com/uk/airtag/
I came up here with the same Citadel-U-lock-plus-cable-padlock-in-saddlebag that I used in rural Lincolnshire (and still use in newer/sturdier forms today), but I was bringing up my only bike; I would use my dad's rubbish bike when visiting home. Nowadays, I'd maybe look for something usable-and-nice-to-ride-(and-fully-dynamo-and-mudguard-equipped-(rather-than-having-to-lug-detachable-lights-around-when-locked-up))-but-not-of-too-much-sentimental-value to go away with.
think I'd be going with:
1. Kryptonite combination u-lock (i recently got one, big fan of less keys).
2. One of those rear wheel ring lock things all the Europeans have, with the plug in chain. I have one, its superb.
3. lockable front QR, I've never had, but assume available.
also depending on where overnight storage is, a motorbike chain that lives there.
