Ways not to lock your bike

This bike has been so successfully locked that it regularly obstructs the pavement. I've not seen it move in over a year

regularly obstructs the pavement

If that bugs you[1] then get on to the council and they will take steps to remove it (usually by placing a 30 day notice on it before chopping the lock, etc).

1. It would certainly bug someone in a wheelchair, or pushing a double buggy, etc.
   

Probably all of them. Very very easy to do. Had a gypsie kid in my class at school do it all the time where he wouldn't steal the bikes, he just swapped the locks around as he was a little bugger.

He stole bikes out of school time.

I would say how it's done but not appropriate. Don't ever get one they're the easiest to break in seconds

Interesting technique...

Woeful. At least it's not a QR.

It is regrettable that you feel offended which I can emphasis with however

Put some emphasis on your reluctance to escalate and make sure to have some empathy for his busy schedule.

Lambeth council won't even take away abandoned cars. Do they really bother with bikes?

Interesting ride.

Woo hoo! Next you need to get people to put their bins away.

Is that bottle for an air horn or pneumatic brake, wtf?

Airzound, they've used parcel tape and fitted an empty coke bottle as the reservoir. They probably get a good forty blasts out of that.

Couldn't work it out. Air horn was the general thoughts (three of us were puzzling as its locked up outside work). Theres a cone attached to the bars.

Obvs. Itsa party popper!

Catch the person on it, id love to see that skidding.

It's a pal of mine, mental fella. And yes, that's a loud as fuck horn.

Someone’s tried this one. Guess the derailleur was too complicated.

I doubt the owner's going to have a great time riding that away

This one popped up on Facebook the other day.

Ha, actually amazingly secure if you weren't planning to come back to it until after 6...

Looks plausible, at least

But oops! Missed!

lmao

Does it still count as “how not to lock your bike” if you don’t lock it?
