Bike locks cut off, Dulwich Leisure Centre

[jimmyay]

Why do people leave their locks anyway? In 12 years of cycling in London i've never left a lock , locked to something without my bike.........as the locks tend to come in handy when you are , you know, cycling around and need to stop somewhere else, as most riders do. Rather baffled - and not surprised a building owner would seek to remove them if permanently left in place. I have seen discarded locks around on my travels - and as a regular cyclist that's what i've always thought they were - discarded. It's never crossed my mind that someone would leave one deliberately.

I can't believe someone is so entitled and cheeky to resort to legal arguments and demand compensation , they need to get a serious grip on themselves.
