Anyone got one of these bikes?
I've had yet another bike pinched, so I decided to buy something cheap this time as i'm getting fed up with the amount of money i'm spending on them, so nipped over to decathlon and picked me up the 5.2 that's reduced to £239.99 at mo, bargin I thought, cant see it being much good tho at that price but just need something to get me round work, anyway the nice man set it up for me and I rode the 5 mile back home and have been out on it again this morning and have to say I was very impressed, if it was someone elses bike I was having a go on I would have never thought it was so cheap
Highly recommended for anyone after a reasonable priced bike 
that's it, just my sunday morning information board  |

Not sure which model that is but there are a few rockriders that offer fantastic value.
Out of interest what lock are you using? Get a Kryptonite Fagettaboudit - not cheap but far and away the best lock on the market. |

"Another bike pinched?? Oh dear!
I guess moving to another area is not an option.  "
lol its where I work, I do community nursing as I don't drive I ride round my calls, the problem is doing the same round every day people get to know you and where you are at what time, I've said a few times I think someones watching and following me taking them, last month I had two stolen in the same week, they know what time I go to what house and how long i'll be in there, not a great deal I can do tho besides pack up work, so I keep buying them they keep pinching them |

Have you considered a folding bike like a Brompton?
This way, you can take it inside with you rather than to leave it chained up outside.
You can get a decent size pannier in the front.

Do you leave your bike out front or round the back? I'd take my bike inside if I paid a lot of money for it |

unfortunately your not allowed to just decide to take your bike into someone else's house
some people I go to allow me to but not everyone wants a wet and dirty bike inside their house so you have to leave it outside |

"Do they do road bikes? I am looking for a value for money road bike at the mo
yes, they do every kind of bike you can think of "
Just looked, I didn't realise it was a BTWIN bike you were talking about. |

This time of year is the best time to be buying - all the shops are trying to offload their stock to make space for the 2014 models |

Buy one of those covers people buy for their car. Wrap the bike up. Job done  |

It might also be worth investing in a motion sensor voice activated machine that says "Step away from the bike and jog on" |
