Mark Dain So I come back from work and my bike (I cycle to the station) has had it's lock tampered with, the brakes stolen (wtf?) and the seat unscrewed. Should I even get it fixed or is it time to just buy a car?

😀 Tom "If I can't steal it from you, at least you still can't use it" mentality maybe? If riding your bike works for you, I would stick with it. Besides all the pros and cons of owning a car, it will still be cheaper to fix the bike than pay for gas/insurance/parking?/maintenance/etc.
