It's warm and dry in London too.
Here's my pic of the day - how to lock up and retain your bike in London. Takes ages. Not sure if I've put it up before. A pragmasis, an almax, and also a couple of disc locks.
Anyone that opens up their garage and rides straight out is living in heaven.

True!
No it's got one almax (dark brown / maroon chain sleeve underneath the blue pragmasis); one pragmasis (blue) and a cheaper black squire chain wrapped around the middle of both. The purpose of that is so the main two chains can't be rotated / manoeuvred to make cutting the large locks easy. They would have to cut through that first. They like to manoeuvre them to cut through the shackle of the padlocks.

Although admittedly not the modus operandi of the current London scumbags who push it away...
Best to get the chain through the frame or swing arm if you can...

Dunno about that, my bike lives in a garage that connects to the road by a gravelled back lane. I nearly dropped the the riding the bike off to nightshift earlier this year. Once at work though, it goes in a locked car park. Motorbikes are the only private vehicles allowed to park there, thank fk.
