Locker woes...

[onlyJaz]

Hi all,

I signed up to a new gym yesterday and for the first time I took my bike. After getting blown around on the dual carriageway for about 7 minutes (also my first time, realising that my GoPro on top of my head was causing a lot of drag back), I finally got there.

Then I realised that the lockers weren't big enough to fit my helmet and I don't have a top box (also reconsidering getting one after the windy experience I've just had).

So regarding the helmet issue, any advice from anyone who has experienced anything similar? I mean I can always take my car to the gym but thought fuel savings would be better on my 125...

At my gym, I just dump all my stuff in a corner. I wouldn't trust some other gyms (PureGym and the like) though.

I try to avoid riding to and from the gym, riding a bike after leg day is fraught with danger.

Gyms are for beta fags.

wrap helmet in carrier bag then chain to bike.

Or ask reception nicely to keep helmet behind desk due to not enough locker space.

Webbing strap with knots or buckles on the end, loop it through the front of the helmet and then trap it in the locker door - then place the helmet on top of the locker.


Although this only works with full-face helmets and with top-row lockers.

Just ask to keep it behind the desk.

Thanks for the advice guys, I like the idea of chaining it to something as it is a full face helmet or maybe putting it on the side in view. I can't cycle to gym as it requires a 3-4mile dual carriageway.

Just leave it on a seat in the changing rooms but stuff a sweaty sock and a pair of off-white pants with stains front & back inside it. No-one will nick your lid.

I honestly can't see a downside to this suggestion.......

Leave mine in a kit bag in the changing room. If it was shitty area I would prob just put it in a bag and bicycle lock it to the bike/changing room bench.

yeah I'm thinking of joining one, not that I need to, but some of my friends go to the same one and for socialising reasons might be nice, but it's one of them 24 hour ones, and wouldn't fancy walking the route home at night, and they mostly use it later on in the evenings
