Will I be liable if someone trips over this? (on pavement)

[CoolHands]

Unlikely I know, but I don't want to be caught out like the flying gazebo / Porsche interface

If I lock my bike with heavy chain across a pavement to a post and someone trips over it and injures themselves, would a claim against me succeed?

Let's wait for the first case of an electric car being charged from a house like yours.

Just to be safe, put a big yellow warning notice over it. I believe the correct wording to use is "Cut here".

I think you left out an "n".

No but they will nick your moped by lifting it up over the sign and lobbing it in the back of a van.

They'll only trip if they try and squeeze between the two.

[CoolHands]

Yeah I'm not bothered, just vaguely interested really.

[longshot]

put it in your spare room.

It all comes down to reasonableness. What you have done there is perfectly reasonable, done daily by millions of people, and it would not be reasonable to expect that to be a trip hazard. I don't think anyone could successfully sue.

There is never any excuse nor is it in any way reasonable to ride one of them things.

Nothing gets past you, does it...?

You can knock those posts out the ground by rocking them back and forward. Its piss easy to do.

Chain it to the tree?

[Mikeyjae]

Just put a cone next to it. No one goes near or likes to move cones.

Good point, ta. Unfortunately I'd need a 4m chain to go round the tree!

What do mean wait?

[Davie_GLA]

Pft. "Bike". That's a scooter!























I'm taking the piss of course. But you should buy an R1 to drop on your driveway / pavement.
