Of course if you wish to cheat and use a folding bike that is your choice but us real cyclists have to use something solid and fixed. An 'Example 4' was not therefore provided. ;-)MiddleAgeCyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873996681529127207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154504376889087337.post-61261056058492150232011-03-04T13:08:20.034+00:002011-03-04T13:08:20.034+00:00Example 4: Fold up your Brompton and stick it unde...Example 4: Fold up your Brompton and stick it under the table.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570415802364596822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154504376889087337.post-13648882533528059162011-03-04T09:20:01.816+00:002011-03-04T09:20:01.816+00:00I will award pass marks to you all.

You have each been able to demonstrate the fundamental aspects required to secure a bicycle. <br /><br />Steve achieved 100% for actually using the examples given and choosing the correct one. Excellent answer.<br /><br />Ian would have achieved 80% but was marked down 10% for his display of poshism and a further 5% for being cheeky so ended with 65%. A respectable pass mark but could do better!<br /><br />MrC achieved 85% for his clear demonstration of a suitable alternative to example 1. Well done.MiddleAgeCyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873996681529127207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154504376889087337.post-13408469045642491232011-03-02T15:54:02.163+00:002011-03-02T15:54:02.163+00:00It is amazing how many people seem to fail to gras...It is amazing how many people seem to fail to grasp that certain parts of a bike can be removed, easily. I saw a step through earlier which was locked by its solitary downtube. Not hard to steak that one.<br /><br />Personally on the DL-1, I use a new York lock through the rear wheel, seat-tube and stand, with a cable through the front wheel, saddle and rack, ending up inside the rear wheel-lock.Dr C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10234078254243840589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154504376889087337.post-34143110538482441612011-03-02T15:18:35.837+00:002011-03-02T15:18:35.837+00:00Just to be awkward, none of the above!
