Stolen Bikes

[Jsy Ben]

Would the main street not be a more sensible idea as there are always atleast a few good citizens walking through or if your lucky the men in blue who will interupt a bike thiefs attempt at nicking your bike, whereas the alley way there is a likly hood of no one interupting the thief ?

Jersey = small island (unlike england)

small island = no where to go (unlike england,numerous countys,other countries,mountains...)

bike thiefs with no where to go are caught+arrested very easily

also knowing atleast a group of people in every part of the island means bike thiefs get found out all to easily

and if you cant do much, then it only takes a few hours to drive round the whole island searching the riding/gathering hot spots

for these reasons big bouncy dh bikes, shiny trials bikes, smart bmxs etc dont get nicked...hardly

very comfatable relaxed island oh and its pretty good to ride

sorry to dis england so much and be so "up" lil jersey, but i suppose look on this post as an insight into a opposite comunity and put the amount of theft over in england onto a scale...can anyone give a point of view from a part of america ?

Yeah thats a fair piont, it is pretty cool over there, I used to live over there years back. There are some amazing rocks all over the a bit like porthcrawl!!

I would say the main street would be better.

I hear that.

And If you HAVE to go into a sop when you have it, take the bike in the shop.

If they dont let you, then just say "well Ill take my business elsewhere".

I have yet o find a shop that hasnt let me take my bike in while buying stuff from them.

haha, I do that all the time, especially subway. if they dont like it, f**k them
