Page 1 of Push bike alarms.

Anyone have any experience of them?

Yesterday I clocked two ner do wells having a good look at my bike at work. It`s locked in the bike park in an open car park. It`s only around 6m from me, but when artics come in my view is blocked.

I am now paranoid that now they have seen it, they will come back and have a go.

So, anyone use anything along those lines?

i would personally tie an angry snake to the handle bars... preferably a poisonous
one with fast acting venom, so not only would the scrotes get bitten, they would fall
quickly and be captured and incarcerated.

failing that, you would need an alarm with a suitable volume due to the noisy artics.

couldn`t you take your bike indoors with you?

I used to leave it in the garage. On site, secure and out of the way. But the new health and safety chap put paid to that. It was a trip hazard in a locked unused unit. Cock. It has to go in the rack.

If they are rape alarm loud it would make them run.

There seem to be two sorts. Movement sensor that you attach to the bike. It doesn`t lock the bike, but if it is moved it will go off.

Or there is the cable lock that is used like a normal bike lock. But if the lock or cable is tampered with it sounds.

Not sure what would be better.

get both?

H&S people are jobsworths.

if you get a wire coat hanger, wrap it around the frame, then wire it to a plug, stick that in the socket, then switch on... if you have access to a three phase source the effects will be much greater.

Obviously i cannot recommend this as crime prevention advice ;)

Back to trying to help the Doc.....

This "locked" garage you speak of which has the trip hazard if the bike is there.... you say is unused.
So, to satisfy Mr H&S-jobsworth couldn`t you fit two of those hanging J hooks that you get for putting you bike on the wall of your own shed/garage and fit them in the said garage therefore removing the trip hazard?

I`m guessing they`ll probably say no but it would be a much more secure option than an alarm. Guy I knew once had his motorbike stolen in full view of the car park`s security guard at work in a van with false plates, drew up, lifted bike into the back, drove away.

I have tried reasoning with h&s. Explaining the issues and cost of the bike. They won`t budge. There is a bike rack for a reason. End of story.

So in the rack it has to go. I won`t point out that they don`t have any signs saying it would be left at my own risk. I guess it`s left at theirs then.

how secure is the bike rack?

it`d probably be better for you to buy a long heavy motorbike security
chain and try and pass it through as many apertures on the bike and
rack as possible. you could always leave the chain at work rather than
carrying home with you.

or if you are community minded you could wire the bike rack up to the national grid!
