Should have taken the saddle off it. Then you'd know the thief was gay or female.

Bike thieves are a scourge in Dublin but my rule of thumb is, you don't have to make your bike impossible to steal you just have to make it harder to steal than the other bikes on the rack

Investing in a nice bicycle seems like a high risk venture if living in Dublin

Remember that saying 'No bell on your bike but your knickers are (w)ringing'

I know it's only got a tenuous connection to your story but I always found it funny.

There should be supervised bicycle parking somewhere. Why haven't they thought of that? Would encourage more people to cycle into the city.

How many locks did you have?

Back in the day when my bike was my only means of quick free transport to college in Dublin city centre, I had 4 locks on my bike. I was laughed at by fellow students as a OTT paranoid nutter. Over about a 6 year period it turns out my bike was never touched and others had theirs regularly stolen. After I left college I used the same bike to work, it was never touched!!

Just make it harder for the thief and they'll move on to the next easiest bike to steal.

cyclists are cycling to save money over driving, usually(any car>bike, if you're normal), therefore, "The Stinge" has infected their hearts. Paying to park?? You'd be lucky.

Go have a look in the street market known as 'The Hill' on Cumberland Street (between Parnell Street and Cathal Brugha Street) tomorrow morning.
If you don't see yours you'll see others.

They do indeed - in sweat, blood and tears, not to mention severe Lycra-rash and Saddle-gonad-norked Syndrome. Mere monetary payment has no comparison.
