Sorry to hear about your bike bic, I'm just glad it wasn't the SD !!
We were in London a few weekends ago, the couple we were staying with were going on and on about how great London is because XYZ is only 2 mins away and there's another in the other direction and the rar rar is only down the road etc etc etc
The whole argument went out the window when we walked the dog in the park the following day, couple of kids (that had been stroking the dog earlier) came up to us, upset as 2 people had just tried to wrestle their bikes off them in broad daylight. I'm not saying crime isn't everywhere but in big cities especially London it's so rife you just can not leave anything anywhere. I don't think anyone could pay me enough to make me wanna live there
London = no thanks.
