How not to lock your bike

hm.. is there a subversive message here?

(edit: the picture wasn't working when I posted, I'm not that thick!)

He's quite right.

I don't lock my bike like that.

I haven't got one.

It is a subconscious plea for bike thieves to take that piece of shit away.

My little brother locked up my old Kona mountain bike like that many many years back, you can guess the result.

Fratricide?

BringMeMyFix Fratricide?

Nearly.

This is worse than freelocking.

you know the thing where you lock the wheel to the frame but nothing else.

i find that absolutely hilarious.

i left my bike locked to a lamp-post by spitalfields market on a saturday a few months ago. i locked it through the frame.

when i came back i realsied i hadn't, in fact, locked it throguh the frame at all. what i'd actually done was wrap the lock around the frame (and by frame i mean top tube only), then left it there for 2 hours to see if anyone fancied a go.

miraculous.

Yoo hoo hippy, fresh food for you...

If you count 3 years old as fresh I hope you're not a greengrocer

Does something bad happen if he goes a day without a merge?

Yeah, you create parallel universes.

This was too bad to go unrecorded:

Lock round a bollard and the seatpost. It was in between two banks of Barclays Bikes, so the only thing it had going for it was a poor attempt at camouflage.
(it was so badly, and obviously badly, locked that I assumed it was just some kind of bait bike)

Tobias, you blow hard.
