Howyis,

came back to a unicycle this eve. I parked my bike at Windy Arbour Luas station. Someone unbolted the wheelnuts and had away with the front wheel.

Jeez that's annoying - only replaced it on monday!

So, wheelnuts or not keep an eye on yer wheels.
I'm getting a loop cable lock to keep the buggers away next time.

I reported the wheel as stolen - as there was cctv nearby - who knows maybe it'll be the case solver for a major kingpin bike thief. Or, I'll hear nothing more about it.

I have one of those cobra cables. They don't add as much weight as another chain and protect the front wheel fairly well.

Then again, I don't have to leave my bike all day at a station either

They sell them in at the great outdoors shop in town.

Pitlock it. You'd need quick release axles though.
