A rant.
So I get to work yesterday. I leave my lock and cable at the bike rack. The rack is poorly designed. It's one of those that have holders for the wheel. So only way to lock a bike to it is with a cable. I usually lock it to a side so I can run a lock through the frame rear triangle, and cable through front wheel.. Bike racks are in a fenced off area that you need a key card to get in to. So it's probably not necessary, but I'm paranoid. Anyway I get there, and see my lock was moved a side and there is a bike locked where I used to lock my bike. Personaly I thought it was a very rude thing to do. It was clearly visible that someone locks their bike there on regular bases, plus there was space on a side of another rack that he/she could have locked their bike to.
Murphys law.
I get to work today to see if that person will take my space again. Only to find out racks are almost empty. I think it because was cloudy. It did rain in the afternoon, and ofcourse I took off rear fender a day earlier. Heh. Murphys law.
