Clarity

I was picking up some emergency shopping on the way home and saw this on the way in to the shop:



So funny. Now admittedly, that's not a quick-release seatpost, and I guess the owner had measured the desirability of the bike against how much effort someone might feel it worth to try and remove the saddle, but, honestly, it only takes a spanner and five seconds... I know, I'm crediting them with far more intelligence than they are likely to possess.

I wonder about these scary bike theft stats when I see things like this - also the family not far from where I live who have Mum's and Dad's and 2 x sprogs' bikes out in the garden leaning against the house, loosely covered in plastic, right on the main road.... and the house across the green from me who leave a mountain bike in their front garden over night, night after night..... I think they want the insurance payout.
