[BNM] [OT] Bicycle insurance

[Antony Jones]

When you lock it up, lock the wheels to the frame, and loosen the
handlebar stem.

That way, if somebody cuts your lock and steals the bike, they'll get a
few hundred metres at high speed then lose control and go crashing to
the ground, at which point you run over and stamp repeatedly on their
head.

Why is adding it to contents insurance crazy money? I think my bike is
covered by my contents insurance, and I found it in a skip!
