Re: Drawing pins
Interestingly I heard from a friend who works at a local bike shop and they've had a run of people bringing in bikes for repair with drawing pins in over the last few months. They've pinpointed it to somewhere between oval & Elephant & Castle. And are trying to get more detail before calling the police.

Drawing pins
I wonder if people have any similar experiences or advice.
In the 9 months I've been commuting to St Thomas' I've found 7 drawing pins in my bike tyres. The last one was last night. I'm never sure when it actually happens, whether it's where I leave my bike at work or at home or on the commute itself. But my Husband leaves his bike next to mine at home and has never had a problem. And there are 100s of other bikes at work and no one else has reported a problem. I don't think there is anyone who has a grudge against me. I changed my tyres after 4 drawing pins to marathon plus tyres which were narrower, but that hasn't stopped it. My commute is mainly through back streets and parks. Any thoughts on where it might be happening. Or how to prevent it?
