I've left a good quality bike outside Heuston for up to 24 hours without incident on 3-4 occasions. However, I parked it in full view of the Luas, and had 2 heavy locks on it. And it doesn't look as good as it is because it's muddy and worn-looking from daily use. I wouldn't leave a bike anywhere in town without locking down all easily removable bits (e.g. quick-release wheels, saddle) as well as the frame itself.
Totally agree. I would never leave a bike locked in the open if having it knicked or damaged would be a major inconvenience.You used to be able to get bicycles from Pearse St/ Kevin Street station for next to nothing. These are stolen bicycles that can't be linked to their original owners. When I was in school (in the early 90's) a pal of mind would frequently buy several of these bikes and salvage the parts to create one decent bike which he would then sell on at a profit!
I def wouldn't leave a 'nice' bike overnight in a public place - just asking for trouble.
I don't think the location, e.g. in full public view, would have any bearing on it. If you were passing a thug(s) messing with a locked bike during the hours of darkness would you intervene to stop them ? I don't think many of us would....
Seriously thick people should try reading my earlier posts. You can also get Bromptons in Cycle Ways in Parnell Street, D1 and probably lots of other stores.For the seriously thick amongst us (me), how do you go about choosing a folding bike? Where can you get them?
I will go and look up your earlier posts then. I saw that they had bromptons in Parnell st...
That's basically the same sort of job as a Brompton. You can get carry bags for Bromptons too. See page 10, item 17 [broken link removed]. They're really nice bikes but not cheap.I haven't ever seen one but if I was shopping for a folder I'd give 'Bike In A Bag' a look. See
