bike storage.
If someone's licence hypothetically went away for a bit, but was *probably* going to come back within a few months unscathed. What sort of place would they store their bike? It's probably going to be a bit sticky with insurers for unlicenced people to have bikes on the street. ... 23 Jul 2010 08:08
