Abandoned bicycles all over Brighton

I noticed it again today. All along Western Road, London Road and everywhere else in Brighton are abandoned bikes padlocked to railings and cycle stands. Most with flat tyres, or no tyres or wheels at all. Does the council ever clear them away? Makes our town look a right mess.

Worse than that, I've bought blue bar tape as a Christmas present for myself. :eek:

Brighton. NOT KEMPTOWN!
Brighton and Hove City Council removes reported abandoned bikes after a fortnight and unclaimed bikes are given to the YMCA to sell on for charity, I believe.

TBH, I don't think they work that quickly ! I am tempted to get myself a van and a Hi-Vis and a angle grinder and get me some cash for the scrap metal.

A van and a Hi-Vis and an angle grinder? It's going to take you a while to break even.

Plenty of raw materiel out there, it's like an Elephants Graveyard for bikes in some places.

Did you go the whole hog and properly treat yourself to Lizard Skins?

I never would have known bar tape could be so good, until I tried the best.
