Cirencester, UK; Police have commenced an innovative scheme to reduce bike theft. In collaboration with Cotswold District Council, they have arranged for a number of ground anchor points to be installed at car parks around the town.
Bikers can then borrow locks from Cirencester police station – safer than having to carry their own locks and chains for their whole ride.
PC Mark Godsland, who came up with the initial idea for the new anchor points in 2005, said: "Provided riders can give proof of their identity they can borrow the locks to ensure their machine is secured for the duration of their stay."
