Does anybody do it? Any recommendations on areas/places to secure one's iron steed? Just wondering.

Good eyes Ted. Very convenient. Maybe I could park it in the bogs? | | | |

Years ago when lots of people cycled to the match certain houses in the area would take your bike in for threepence. I used to leave my bike in the Andover Arms. Another place was outside the police station. These options no longer exist so locking the bike up in the street is your only hope. Choose somewhere where the bike is in full view all the time. Against the railings opposite the ground is a good option. Trouble is wherever you leave a bike the buggers will damage it out of spite if they are unable to break the lock(s). |  | | |

Chain it to the duggout and hopefully ask Connor to keep an eye on it.  |  |

Those options will return one of these days, everything’s cyclical. |  |

I did about 10 years ago my aunty lives in white city estate so used to leave it with her. But one sunny saturday afternoon i was running late and tried to lock it on the park gate opposite the club shop within seconds i had 3 policemen screaming at me to drop the push bike and step away they then asked me if the bike was carrying explosives ??? I just responded with i hope not i have just cycled from chertsey and you have just asked me to drop the bike on the floor
I started driving to games after this 😂 [Post edited 8 Mar 2018 16:42]

Quite a few bike racks outside the old BBC White City building on the corner of Wood Lane/SAR. |  |

I've left mine on the cycle stand opposite SB Police station a few weeks ago and it was still there when I got back. |  |

Yeah somewhere on the Uxbridge Rd would be good. Not too far from my favourite biryani emporium ideally. And it's busy there so that helps apparently in today's criminal minefield. | | | |

Forty odd years ago I lived in Great Massingham (Norfolk).
Our neighbour, despite being in his late 70s and having both feet crippled by polio, used to cycle one of those ludicrously heavy black cast iron bikes, 35 miles to see his beloved Norwich play.
And then, after a couple of post match whiskeys, 35 miles back.
Used to leave about midday and get back about 8:30PM.

Near me is the Knocknaheeney estate, rightly or wrongly it's known for being the home of a few joyriders.
So this tourist parks his big rental car there and asks a local...
"Excuse me, if I park my car here will it be here in the morning?"
"Here boy, park it anywhere in Cork and it'll be here in the morning". |  |

Bloemfontein Rd, where Janet Adegoke centre used to be |  | | |

I often cycle to games. There's a fairly large rack to the right as you come out of White City tube (where the petrol station used to be) that seems to be fine. Alternatively I use the small row of Sheffield stands at the edge of Hammersmith Park (on the left as you go down South Africa Road to the stadium). I should also add that I use a heavy duty lock in combination with a bang-average looking bike, so hopefully doubly unappealing to any ne'er-do-wells. |  | | |

Almost. I used to use the house gates to the left as you look at the Lower Loft entrance. I would throw the bike over the 4 foot fence and padlock it up. Another place is the fencing outside the Springbok or whatever it's called. You chain it up next to the Burger van and the burger man keeps an eye on it for you. | | | |

I often cycle in. I just chain it to the railings on SAR opposite the entrance to the Upper Loft.
Never a problem. |  |

That's where I left mine the last time. It's in full view and presumably there are stewards and police around outside the ground whilst the game is on so should be fine. I've never had a whole bike stolen but have emerged from pubs etc to find the handlebars or saddle missing. Once outside the Builders in Hammersmith I found someone had smashed the spokes out of spite. There are some awful people about. | | | |

Yes there are some right kn8bs out there.
Part of the reason I have a pub bike for this sort of thing and a nicer one that I only tend to use where there is secure parking (at my work for example).
But HQ on matchday is a good bet as it's so plod-heavy. The scrotes will go somewhere else and f&ck up some else's transport. | |
