Random question do you guys know what SSE stands for? and what's your opinion? I also assume the ringing's from hands-free unless any of you guys notice different

Is this angle better or is it too far up now lol?

Angle is good now.

He could have waited, but a bit marginal I would say.

Much better angle. But its something of nothing.

Thanks and also
Marginal can mean different things to people. I personally think close overtakes are marginal because no matter what cyclist you are your bound to get close overtakes. Anything can be marginal for anyone. Just depends on people’s opinions

To me it means that I would not think about it two seconds after going past.

Well this is awkward. I came back to find my bike with a extra lock on. That i didnt put on. See picture (my lock is the green one) I never put the grey on I found it that way.
I did try asking at a information desk but unfortunately they said they can’t do anything as if they cut someone else’s lock it’s criminal damage, I contacted my mum who tried contacting 101 but they couldn’t do anything either

So this makes me Without a bike till the lock gets taken off if it does. I left my lock on so they can’t steal it. I had no choice but to leave it.

Has anyone had a similar thing happened and if so was it a mistake or was it done on purpose or is it a trick to try to steal it?. If it was a mistake, how is that possible?

What would you guys do?


Ps also what’s the laws regarding this?

I would be down there with a grinder to cut the other lock off PDQ, but you don't seem like the kind of guy who has access to a grinder....

Nope lol I have no tools like that and also wouldn’t that raise suspicions to security guards or pedestrian/staff or all?

Get a grinder and cut it off. It's a well known bike thief scam. You go away and they come back later to cut your lock off and take your bike. There was absolutely no need for someone to lock your bike up like that.

 

[straas]

Get that lock off, that's not accidental - they're going to steal your bike.

Unfortunately I had no choice but to go home due to having no tools and work. My parents told me to go home and to check back later tommorow (as in today)
(My mum thinks it’s a Mistake but I can’t see how it’s a mistake) parents ‍♂️. I did keep my own lock on but there’s cameras everywhere in that area. It’s the worse area to pick lol

 

[KneesUp]

I've had someone lock up my bike accidentally because they'd locked their bike to the same post and somehow got the chain around my bike too - it was very annoying!

But if that's just a lock and not a lock securing another bike, I'd be very suspicious. Hope it all works out ok.
