Cyclezee Quiz

Some workman were installing several of these near my local Post Office this morning.


Can anyone guess what it is yet?

A special prize from Cyclezee for the first correct answer

It's a flower tub that you can lock your bike to.

 

[Terry1100]

If it's a fixed loop for locking a bike to it seems like an "installation intensive" solution.

Congratulations Dave you got it

My head has swollen so much that I can't get through the doorways now.

You can keep the bike. Just send me the 5% discount on your most expensive one.

Sorry Dave but you obviously haven't read the rules

Must have misread that there. I'm sure I read somewhere that the 2015 Cyclezee discount was going to be 50%! You've missed off a zero !

Hi James,

No you didn't misread that, it was 50% off one set of Cyclezee torque plates

 

[lowranger]

Must be heavy if they needed that winch.............

 

[EddiePJ]

I'd have said a recycling bin for bikes.

I'll get my coat.

It looks very much like an advertising space to me

I was told by the guys doing the installation that the loop is made of hardened steel and couldn't be cut with a hacksaw.

As they were still being fitted I didn't get a chance to examine them closely so I can't say how solid or secure they might be.

Flower pots? Don't they know that theft of garden plants is also a well known problem? These will be ideally placed for secretively lifting into panniers or carrier boxes/baskets.

I thought it was a watering trough for thirsty bikes.

 

[Cyclezee]

and here is one of the troughs this morning fully installed

Surely, it should be at right angles to the wall so that you can tie up two bikes?

 

[TinKitten]

What is it filled with? Is it soil on top? Is there any cement in there or surely those crims that like to take metal from everywhere they can find it will make off with it.

 

[Cyclezee]

It's about a metre from the wall so there is room for another bike at the far side.

They have installed 3 of these in the same location which is a small local centre with a Coop, Post Office and couple of other shops.

The bars are made of solid hardened steel and the whole thing is anchored to the ground, they look quite substancial.

I do take Flecc's point about the plants being stolen. MK council spends a lot of money on planting and maintaining trees and plants around the city, but I don't know who paid for these, I suspect it may have been the local parish council.

They are filled with top soil but very securely anchored to the ground so they would not be easy to remove.

It looks to me like the council offering a complex solution to a simple problem. This would surely soon become a dog urination point whether there are bikes chained up or not..Can I sue the council if my bike gets weed on or becomes infested with greenfly or other soil born bike eating bugs!!
