    Uni bike thefts

    Havn't you guys heard of disc locks? they are $25-$40

    AKA... they roll / ride them away... they come in sedans, more sepcifically a Black BMW and a grey nissan primera.

    Bit hard to ride / push a bike with a disc lock now innit!, you are giving them easy pickings, if they have to start carrying them it is higher risk and more time also.

    To date they have not taken a single bike that had a disc lock, because they have sedans...otherwise they have to bring a van or a ute/ truck...

    Go out... buy disc locks...problem prettymuch solved...

    Or just keep getting your bikes stolen....

    Hmmm $25-$40 on disc lock

    or $500-$1500 Insurance excess and not having your exact bike anymore. i know you are all poor uni students but i'm sure you can spare the cost of a tank of gas to keep your bikes.

    That is all.

    As you werre.

    I got my disc lock for $15 and put it on even though I'm parking in that underground "secure" carpark, and I got laughed at for putting it on

    If they can't roll the bike, nor get a van inside the building without having an employee's key card, then they ain't getting the bike! Unless they drag it out or pick it up and carry it, which I'm sure would attract a fair bit of attention.

    Disk locks suck, you have to keep putting them on. Alarms are way better, unless your parking somewhere realy dodgy. But then you can add as many locks as you like.

    I remember when i was parking in the auckland CBD overnight, i had about 5 locks plus the alarm

    I don't mind using my big big blue "Fuck off" chains and tieing it up to a pole.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    I do believe that andrews bike HAD a disklock on it. A disklock isn't that hard to get rid of, it can be removed if you know what your doing

    He didn't have a disclock on at the time. Just the steering lock.

    i'd be more inclined to push for measures to round up theifs than to just deal with them by buying a disk lock.

    That said i do lock my tl when im leaving it out

    Well yeah its a case of slowing them down, if they want it they will have it, but it takes a hell of alot more effort, the uni bikes are relatively unsecured and are left for hours at a time, its essentially candy from a baby, its just my thought on it...

    maybe uni smc should get discount cards from a certain shop or something 10% off a disc lock if you are a smc member? i dunno ask mt eden mc's im sure theyd love to get you all through the door...

    Disc locks, alarms, chains, are all deterrents, it's not going to stop a committed thief from taxing away your bike. Having something is better than nothing.

    Catching the cunts and making them pay however is another story. Is Steven going to lay out some proposal or at least a highlight an action plan to tackle these cocks.
