I find it hilarious that this guy outlines his cloak-and-dagger tactics to avoid people tracking down his bike via Strava, and then as an aside he mentions the time his bike actually got nicked was when a drug addict accessed it through an unlocked door. That never happened to Jason Bourne.
- contender_x 9y agoI was pretty unhappy about, I can tell you. And yes, I mentioned that fact to make clear that physical security comes first, and because I cherish the irony myself. In Bristol, most mountain bikers do cross the Bristol Suspension bridge on their way home, same for a lot of the roadies. There's been a fair few cases of people being followed back by some teenagers and then having their bike stolen that night, so rather than go straight home (main roads), I just hit the back streets to see that it's clear. And now I make sure that we haven't left a set of keys out in the garden, even when the door is locked. Which was a fact on its own: it's an implicit metric of how often people try breaking in to an urban house here.
