I HATE BIKE THIEFS!
For staff to park a bicycle at Manchester Royal Infirmary they have to take their bike through part of the hospital to a designated indoor compound with a massive security door that employs an electronic keypad for access. Some thieving scrote has managed to infiltrate this and have a right good go at taking my bike.
A major city hospital that is open all day to the public is naturally going to invite a lot of scrotage off the streets looking for that opportunity to take what is not theirs. However, this cycle compound seems so secure that other users sometimes don’t even bother to lock their bikes to the posts in there. Of course, this is their prerogative. Perhaps a little naive in my mind but never the less, something to make me feel a little too security minded when using both a D-lock and security chain to fasten both wheels, the frame, and suspension forks to the posts.
Now I’m glad I do this. The thieving idiot scrotum-licking bastard was thwarted in their attempt to steal my fine piece of machinery. In the process of trying to get through the D-lock they have seriously dented the frame, bent spokes to the point of non-repair, and damaged the rotor of the disc brake so much that it simply needs replacing. This can be fixed by myself and replacement parts for the spokes and rotor wont cost more than £30. Oh, and the time doing it. The frame is ok and useable – the strength and integrity may be slightly compromised but it’s not worth replacing, especially when an equivalent frame is £300+. Motherfooker.
Nothing is safe, and even when it’s bolted down as best it can be; someone is still going to try to steal it. While in the process they will also do damage, and if they cant get it then maliciously damage it.
This bike is my main mode of transport. It is also my pride and enjoy. What is even more frustrating is the fact that I’ve only just got the damn thing set up the way its been crying out for. Literally one week after buying new components and fitting them some little shit has a go.
I know, I know, don’t own such a ‘thieves choice’ bike. Balls! I use it all the time and I’m not going to have my buying choices dictated to me by the fact that some scourge of society may take a liking to it. feck them.
Sorry, well this is the rant thread and I’m pissed off. It’s a good job there have been some innocent jokes flying about and that bill oddie is living in the garden of dirtyness!
