    Get yourself a very good lock ,and lock is somewhere solid , outside the sports center or near the Lincoln entrance

    Have a good Kryptonite lock, will park it there so, close to security hut I guess!

    Thanks for the reply!

    I'd actually avoid both of those, sports center is notorious for having a lot of bike thefts, and anyone I know who got a bike stolen had it locked at Lincoln. Both are ideal spots to get in and out of campus quickly. The security hut at Lincoln can't actually see what's going on in the bike area, its often unmanned anyway.

    Front square is the safest IMO, always lots of security and tour groups around

    Front square, any of the security personnel on campus will echo this.

    Sports centre is on a quieter end of campus, and has a lovely big pedestrian gate right next to it - making it a ripe spot for the bike lifting. Get nothing less than a kryptonite lock (the others are way too easy to pop open) and a cable for your wheels, and stick it in front square!

    Also a cheap ****ty bike is ideal. A fancy 300/400 EUR bike is not the best thing to bring into the city. A cheap, but fine second hand one is best. A thief isnt going to go for the slightly rusted, no brand one, if there is an expensive bike beside it,
