City centre escape

[Mosstrooper]

This was done as bit of an experiment and thought I’d share for those who work in a city centre.
Whilst checking out a local car boot sale I saw quite a few old rusty old bikes which got me thinking.
At the time I worked in a city centre and used public transport to commute, so my idea was to purchase an old bike (which I did £10) lock it up and leave it bang in the middle of the city centre.
The bike was very rusty and dirty and was stripped of anything that looked worthy of nicking thus making it less appealing to thiefs.
This will provide an alternate transport home if I needed it and all I needed to do was remember the key for the bike lock. It also would mean if the roads are grid locked I wouldn’t need to worry a bike can go on most surfaces (paths).
Oh and by the way the bike has been in place for 18mths and all I do is now and again give it a squirt of wd40 and check the tyres have air in.
