This method does offer some security if the bikes are left on site.
Not knocking your idea Doug .. it is better than leaving them with nothing and would deter the opportunist.

The point I was making is that bike theft is rife and if they want `YOUR' bike.. they will have it.. make no mistake.

On another occasion at the same aire we saw an old bike lying against the fence. After a few days it became clear that it had been left by accident and the owner couldn't be bothered coming back .. it was still there several weeks later .. no one wanted it..
