My advice is to buy a cheap and nasty second hand bike, and a lock that's worth much more than the bike.


I bought a bike for ?10 of a forum member about 6 months ago, leave it at Herne Hill station every day and it's not been nicked yet. Even forgot the lock once, but it was still there in the afternoon. It sounds like a bag of spanners and is heavy and clumsy, but for a 10 or 15 minute ride it's fine.


With regards to locks, Brixton Cycles told me some years ago, that the only lock they had trouble getting off customer's bikes who'd lost the key were the big Kryptonite style motorbike chain locks, so I bought one of those. They're heavy, but give peace of mind.

-Unless you want to cycle home without a bike seat on the way back... may be pretty painful.


on a separate note, why does East Dulwich Train Station have that stupid bike cupboard/storage thing... that would be more useful if it was in Peckham however...

    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so    
    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.
