Interesting debate.

Also, very relevant as I just returned from a one-week conference in New Orleans, USA.

As I stated earlier, my bicycle is simply a tool and now lives outside with my Edwardian house restoration almost being complete and impending family expansion.

Also, as previously shown, I live in the most dense ward of the most dense city in England (about 50000 ppl/mi2), so I can't really afford any type of bicycle storage facility (and they don't really exist as real estate is very expensive). I think it's actually the most dense city in Europe, from some other data I showed (each resident has about 200m2 of total space). About 4 times more dense than London and 5 times more dense than Paris. (Or similar to Manhattan, within a two-fold error range).

The bike does need some lubricant this evening, should I have time, I'll just run some cheap Filippo Berio extra virgin olive oil over the chain while cooking.

As far as fighting me, I'd have to be quite weak to have a little surface rust actually fight me, no?
