"I was in Tesco earlier and saw a grown man wheeling his bicycle around the aisles.
I guess it was valuable and not wanting it stolen he took it into the store. .
I have never seen that before "
men and their bicycles
probably was valuable and needed to hang onto it for grim death! |

If anything like our Tesco's the thieving gits will take anything with 2 wheels even if the bike is a pile of junk...and then do the "It's locked at the owners discretion"...or rather F*ck off don't bother us...

I wouldn't lock my carbon bike up outside a shop, there are too many quick-release bits that can come off in seconds and many parts cost 100's of pounds on their own (some pro wheels are over 10 grand). But I wouldn't go to Tesco on my expensive bike anyway, it seems a silly thing to do.

Regularly take my bike into shops ... no way am I leaving it outside ... even with a lock ... have in the past taken it into a coffee shop to drink as there were no seats outside.
Don’t see the problem myself... people take pushchairs into shops and I suppose as there is only one of me i can’t be accused of blocking up the roads or riding illegally 2 abreast (which it isn’t just to add )
Ride on everyone  |

I was just about to say you need to brush up on your highway code. Then I saw the bit in brackets |

One of my partners often wheels her bike through the store as she works there and there is no external access to the staff only part to the rear where she keeps it and getting the rear access gate open purely to get a bike through is a right palarva. It's opened for bin collection and deliveries and nowt else. Leaving it outside with the customer bikes when you start your shift at half five in the morning is asking for it to go missing. |

My pet hates (well two of them)
1) people who have been down the stables and then covered in horse shit walking around and picking up / touching food when they are covered in horse shit
2) parents who put their kids in the basket section of the trolly (not the seat)
Where you put all your food. |

Add in ... People who move their trolley around by holding onto the trolley sides, not pushing or pulling it by the Handle provided!!!
Doing so, they take up double the space in aisles! Muppets! |

I guess it is difficult if they grab the bike to sneak a cwtch. |

"And to fair.. if you can't afford to lose it don't buy it...
That's a strange comment. Do you drive, could you afford to loose your car or motorbike etc? "
To be honest.. I never lock.my car doors...what does that tell you.. If one get stolen I have many others.. the trick is not to go to Tesco in the one I don't want nicked..
Simples.. |

I take mine in to shops all the time. Not sure I'd walk up and down aisles with it but the local tesco Express and Co-OP have never had a problem with leaving it inside the store. As others have said, my best bike is worth way too much to be left unattended locked up or not |
