What counts as an immovable object?
To keep things fair for the whole Collective, we ask that you always lock your bicycle to something truly solid. When you secure your bicycle properly, you are doing your bit to prevent theft and keep the monthly contribution low for everyone.
An immovable object is any fixed, solid structure that meets these criteria:
The object cannot be undone, removed, or lifted under or over your bicycle without using specialist tools.
The object is permanently fixed to the ground or a building (for example, metal railings or a dedicated bike rack).
What does not count as an immovable object?
Items that can be easily dismantled or moved do not meet our security requirements. For example:
Small trees or hedges (which could be snapped with force).
Wire fences or thin wooden posts that could be knocked down with force.
Free-standing objects that are not bolted down.
To be considered an immovable object, the structure must be sturdy enough to require specialist equipment to move or destroy it.
