@Willard, first of all let it be clear I have no interest in convincing anyone. I describe what I think and why, but we all have different needs priorities opinions etc.


I find a GPS tracker more important than an alarm. I use my bike almost every day, but would leave it unused for a couple of weeks in the summer and during Christmas. My bike has a 12Ah battery; when the battery is new, the bike starts just fine after 2 weeks idle, but when the battery is not new, the bike struggles after 2 weeks. I am therefore reluctant to add additional strain to the battery.


I would not replace my tracker with an alarm because I find the tracker more effective; in a residential area like Dulwich you might hope neighbours might, maybe, be alerted by an alarm, but in central London no one gives a damn.


This is my 2 cents.

Hi Willard,

Hindmans Road - south of Upland Road is in East dulwich ward and ablate have free motorbike ground anchors.

Hopefully the Peckham Rye ward councillors will choose to support this type of crime prevention at some point if you live north of Upland Roads.

Like I said, I'm in Peckham Rye ward. I'm north of Upland Rd, close to Tyrell. I had my anchor fitted last summer. The Peckham Rye ward councillors already support this initiative, it's not just you!

      Have they had a bit of a 'falling out'?.

      I've seen my cat many times walk straight past a fox, at less than half a metre separation. both animals ignored each other.

      Bitey Fox.

      The young ones can bite car tyres around this time of year - I assume they do it for the thrill of the hiss or something like that.  We had a spate of damaged tyres and thought it was a disturbed person or at a stretch an environmental protestor taking it too far, but caught a fox on a house camera.

      Although this sounds worrying, a "bitey" fox is unusual. I see foxes all the time where I live near Rye Lane and have never experienced this. I've even seen a fox sitting in the garden where an outdoor cat lives, whilst the cat was there - the cat was fine and is still alive. I think my flat is on a fox path because I hear and see them most nights, none of the local cats seem bothered by them. I can't help but wonder what would make the fox act in such a way, I've just read that toxoplasmosis might make them more aggressive
