Bike woes

[ewx]

I'm not having much luck at the moment. On Monday I spent most of the evening failing to patch a tyre (eventually giving up and using the backup inner tube). This lunchtime I returned from wandering around town to find that someone had D-locked my bike to the stand as well as their own; it was still in that state this evening.

Lock your bike to theirs, and leave a note with contact details?

[ewx]

I've left a note with my phone number. I've no idea what locking my bike to theirs would achieve, though.

Assuming an honest, decent other party, they'd call you (and be as inconvenienced as you were).

Assuming an honest decent party (and assuming my note survives the vagaries of the weather) they'll call me anyway.

The City Rangers (hi ho silver) will release a bike after twenty four hours. Nobody seems interested in doing anything before then, though I wonder if you could report the miscreant as an illegal clamper, :)?

[ewx]

I'll remember that for next time. Do you know if it's 24 hours after you ask or 24 hours after you you discover the problem?

I'm not sure, I never had to invoke them. My bike was locked outside Parkside, so I popped into the station and that's what they told me. By the time I got back the next morning (it was early evening) the other bike (and lock) had gone.

Oh, and thanks l-)
