These lockers clearly offer little deterrent or resistance, especially as this locker on Cyrena Road (between Whateley and Silvester) had the upgraded lock added. I wonder if the perforate ends are a problem? They enable these shysters to scope out bikes worth stealing.

Reported to police.

Sorry to hear that . In terms of anyone else reading this as aware that lots of people don't have other options, its really important to lock the bike up in the locker with as good quality lock as possible - preferably two. It won't be failsafe but hopfully makes it less appealling

Correct but I can?t agree that they are carbuncles.

Despite losing a bike, this city is a better place with single parking bays used for a storage device for 6 bikes, than another polluting vehicle.

First Mate - Back when I had a car, it was stolen on my street - a locked car in broad daylight - I watched it drive away. There are cars broken into on a regular basis around here. Bikes are not spared that either but so far, fingers crossed, mine has not been stolen and has lived happily in a bike locker. I do have insurance for it and it would cover a bike locker theft as long as my bike was secured with a proper lock (or two in my case).
Fair point, but the council does not subsidise car ownership, not directly at least. I am not anti lockers but if these are to be funded by the council in increasingly large numbers we need to be sure that they are secure, otherwise it is a waste of money.

    • So glad you found this poor little thing....  I heard that so many people tried to catch it as it was running in the road.  Well done!            
    • As a one off thing, I'd 100% recommend going to Alexander Does Supper, if you like food! It's up at Dulwich Art School, and you do some life drawing, have an amazing three course meal, and then watch some burlesque! I met some great people from the local area, and it was something different that I would never have done otherwise. https://www.instagram.com/alexanderdoessupper https://www.alexanderdoessupper.com  
    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday.
