The above says it all...It gives me time to meditate, reflect and help plan ahead. Cycling is just great and that's why I love riding ✊🏿

Really sorry to read this Tom. 😥 I always use 'D' locks on my bike and if possible park under or within view of a security camera. Was your bike logged on the Bike Register scheme? Although it offers only visible protection to would-be thieves that your bike is registered, it means you have all the specific details about your bike eg. Frame number, custom parts etc. all logged. You can search its database and it shows stolen bikes so potential buyers are informed. I know this doesn't bring back your bike, but I hope this information helps for the future. 😊 Good luck! 🚵‍♂️

V sorry to read this. A bike lock should cost 10% of the value of the bike. Kryptonite 'insure' bikes if one of their locks is fitted but read the T & C's! Any decent lock, will have a rating. Hope this helps and you are back on the road soon.

Oh no hope everything is all right. I always wear one as I can fall off my bike when stood still. One if my son's friends was doing tricks in the garden in his bike and came off and went head first into the concrete post of the fence. He sustained a fractured skull but would have died had it not been for his helmet. So very sound advice.
