You need to "guess" the corresponding post code as well. A bit of internet sleuthing should give you options.

Doubtless, which is why I avoid the eastern parts of Kingswood.

I carry a padlock that I use to lock the front brake on, by padlocking the brake lever to the handlebar, and I put the bike in its biggest gear.
Although for caliper brakes this would be easily circumventable by just flipping up the little lever on the top of the brake caliper that releases the brakes for you to change a tyre.
or just snip the brake cable
Just park your bike next to a more expensive one.
- put bike in a hard gear
- turn it upside down (if it won't scratch anything)
- buy one of these Unisex locks!

This has been discussed a number of times already. Have a look at these links:

Thank you Simon, will have a look, sorry for being lazy and not using the search tool!
No problem, and a google/duckduck site search probably gets better results.
