Commute to/from Waterloo

[beans3]

Guys,

I'm after some advice about storing my bike Waterloo station for a short commute into town.

My plan is to use two Kryptonite locks to secure my bike, which is a hybrid worth #500ish, in those two tier rack things overnight on weekdays and over the weekends.

I've never done this before and wonder about the following:

- what's the risk of the bike getting nicked (high - med - low)?
- do you think it's more risky leaving it locked up on weekends?
- is there always space in these racks at Waterloo? (They always look rammed when I pass)
- shall I abadon this idea and just get a fold up and lug the blooomin thing back n forth on the train instead??

I know there are big plans for Waterloo with loads more space planned, but i am interested in the current situation.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

- what's the risk of the bike getting nicked (high - med - low)?
Medium Risk with two good locks. However, i'd be concerned parts would be stripped.

- do you think it's more risky leaving it locked up on weekends?
Leaving any bike in London over a weekend is a risky proposition.

- is there always space in these racks at Waterloo? (They always look rammed when I pass)
Depends on what time you arrive. After 9am you may struggle.

- shall I abandon this idea and just get a fold up and lug the blooomin thing back n forth on the train instead??
Yep, get a Brompton. It has roller wheels so you don't have to drag it anywhere
