Love it.
Bike theives nil too when they tried to nick my commuter scooter. I introduced him to my scaffold pole. Would have chased him but he had 40 years on me! Still, I heard a satisfying crunch when my bar made contact with his helmet.

So you just happened to have a scaffold pole nearby?
How could he ride the bike away?

Lol. It’s one I have in my garage for levering wishbones down. One of them rides right next to it pushing it along the road with his foot - they get up quite a speed. To most people, it just looks like two bike buddies riding along close together. Like this:

Seriously? You've never seen someone pushing a scooter? It happens plenty.

Bloody hell. But would the brakes work? These thieves are an enterprising bunch.

Nope, but I assume this is common in Cities like London? I live out in the sticks.

That too. Often they get pushed a street or two away and plopped in the back of a van.
Yep. No servo's on bike brakes so the engine doesn’t need to be running. Obviously, the ABS wouldn’t work but that’s the least of their worries.
