Ways not to lock your bike

Less of a ways to not lock your bike as a remember where the bloody hell you left it locked.
No image as it was my wife’s bike. Taken from Three Bridges Station. She hadn’t been to the office for over a week so there’s no way of pin-pointing a spot on the cctv coverage. Most worryingly she can’t remember exactly where she locked it and sub-consciously thought ‘I’m never going to remember where I’ve locked this’ as her normal spot was taken.

looks like its inside a cafe area, they will have a license for having their chairs and barriers on the pavement, feel like locking a bike to or inside that is fine. If it was left side ways across a narrow bit of path so that a wheelchair/pram couldn't get past then maybe fair enough, doesn't look like that though.

Bitch locking, had it happen a few times, thankfully each time an accident on the others behalf. Turns out employers don't really accept 'someone bitch locked me outside morrisons' as a reason for being 30 mins late back from lunch.

Surely that's totally unenforceable?

Totally. Waste of time.

+1 for locking the frame and wheel
-100000 for not locking it to anything

..to be fair also +1 for matching cute lock colour to frame

Been meaning to take a picture of this for months.

That'll buff out

Imagine coming back to find your bike like that. You’d be crushed.

It’d totally flatten you wouldn’t it?

Took me a while to realize what's bike and what's rail in this picture.

There's more than one bike in there!

Tetsuo Ironman will sort that out.

Anyone in Camden got an angle grinder / bolt cutter NOW?

I have been bitch locked!

Managed to extricate myself by completely disassembling the offending piece of shit, and passing it through the main diamond of my frame.

Some twat is going to come out of a gig at the Roundhouse tonight and wonder why his bike is in pieces.

Possibly missing pieces, given the light-fingered denizens of Chalk Farm. I had my pump-up air horn nicked off my bike when it was parked outside Belgos many, many moons ago.

Good work! A victory for old-school frame geometry.

Epic fail, D lock not though frame AND rear wheel.

Carrying around that many D-locks must be heavy. Looks like a superfluous cable and pair of padlocks as well.

I learned in this very thread that people actually leave those in places where they regularly lock their bike

Looks like a superfluous cable and pair of padlocks as well.

Two D locks get locked to the end of each cable and dragged behind the bike for a noisier, cycling version of this...

they must have had a few bikes stolen in the past I guess?!
I hope they've colour coded their keys!

Shifters /cockpit will go off that

Oh dear
