Selby has a system where you go shopping and leave your bike for a few minutes. Go inside, come out and discover someone has stolen your bike. Most end up in the river or canal.


Never quite understood why the 'save the planet' cycling lobby is so
dishonest. Leave a bike anywhere without it being chained up and it's
gone. Don't chain it fully, just the wheels. And anything stolen must have
a market?

Cars have much more expensive wheels and tyres - but it's not as common
to see one with the wheels missing.

Perhaps it's their idea of re-cycling.
