Or more realistically, the lack of. Supposed to be meeting up with some colleagues at Cutlery Works this Friday. I'd normally train it in but there are no trains running due to strike action.

So thought I may dust off the road bike and cycle in. The cycle isn't an issue, used to do that couple of times a week before COVID.

However I don't really fancy my chances of securing the bike and it still being there when I need to cycle home. There are a couple of Sheffield Loops to secure the bike to outside so I'd bring my big d-lock. For reference it's an oldish pinnacle arkose, so not massively blingy but I'm sure the scrotes wouldn't really care.

Am I being massively over cautious, or do we think the bike will go walkabouts?

Lunchtime or evening? If it's lunch then I suspect they would be OK with you leaving it locked up under the stairs inside? Worth a call first, but I think I've seen a bike there before

Sounds like they would only be interested in the forks.

Russell's bike shed Neepsend shop is diagonally opposite & they are the guys running the secure storage in Sheffield. I'd drop them a line.

For those that are interested I got the bus in the end. But there were a couple of Sheffield Loops under the stairs so I'm sure I could have secured the bike there if I'd have asked nicely.
