Ways not to lock your bike

I don't trust those racks, but no reason to be that dumb. Using the flip up loop would be better than this.

hahaha "Oh no, with some tactically placed duct tape, this knot has thwarted my attempts to undo it".

Who the fuck has done scouts these days.

Apart from scout masters obviously.

And they're not the kind to steal bikes.

D-lock through the cables only...

Spotted the following this morning:

My brain was too tired to figure out I could turn the bike around and then the pegs wouldn't stop me fitting thew lock round the frame. Only left like that for a minute.

As Satan is protecting your bike you are probably ok.

^ That aimed at me?

Haha fair enough then. I thought it was a bmx thing.

Let's have a look at what this idiot did… In America.

Ways to not handkerchief your trolley?

The clearances on that trolley are a bit weak, and the geometry just looks all wrong.

I like they went to the trouble of fitting the QR seat post bolt too.

Seems legit

One more reason to be careful where you leave your bike in Harringay (preferably, don't). Hard to fault the victims on this occasion tho:

No idea what caused it, seen on twitter.

If there's no specific motorcycle parking I'll do that.

Well actually, I prefer to park beside the bicycle parking so Im not using up any spaces but cycle racks are good for locking to.

On the rare occasion I motorbike to work I park in a bicycle space but that's coz they're covered and strangely cycle parking spaces outnumber cyclists by about 20:1.

Look very much like it been ran over.

Where is it, Ian?

@Oliver Schick looks like end of warham road by the greenlanes from my googlefu and area knowledge.

do you not BTOB?

All those new cycle racks are due to be replaced in the next few months due to them being a bit shit (and costing about three times as much as a Sheffield stand).
