1) Track journeys on web
2) Wait inside shed with baseball bat and a pair of bolt cutters
3) Crime prevention at its finest

That just helps you get a stolen bike back, my method prevents future thefts too!

I missed this a bit the first time around.

'High-performance'? My increasingly fat, but also hairy, arse. Reason i missed it, i assumed it meant bikes with high performance engines ie motorbikes.

Most of the 'high-performance' bikes that i've seen have 'performed' very poorly, on account of their 'engines', ie the riders upon them, being a big bunch of toss.

High-value, not high-performance.
