There was a wall. I leant my bike on it.

Cycle racks outside the door (it's the local leisure centre).

None. But is is a tiny ramshackle village hall down an unmade track in a
hamlet with less than a dozen houses. Most of the population seem to be
in their nineties. I'd be more worried about one of them breaking their
hip after falling down the steps that with one of them having it away
with my bike.

The building has walls. My bike can lean. Round the back there is a
drainpipe. It takes longer to lock it to the drainpipe than it does to make
a cross on a ballot paper, but both things could determine what happens in
the immediate future.

None. But I had two options.
1. If there is a political apparatchnik outside, ask them to watch your bike
while you vote (I have done this and was intending to do so this morning but
noone seems interested in canvassing for my vote so plan B)
2. It was quiet - I wheeled it into the polling station. This is in the
communal lounge of a sheltered housing block so it meant going through a few
doors and over some carpet. It wasn't raining so I was happy with that.

I walked there. It's in a church 5 minutes away - I wasn't going to get
togged up in my cycle gear for that.

Don't need special gear for that. I rode in my work clothes, and then
continued to work.

Leant the bike against a fence next to one that probably belonged to
one of the two party workers there (Lib Dem and Tory). Left it under
their watchful gaze while I strolled in to vote Green.
