Ways not to lock your bike

She couldn't have been that stupid tho', could she? I mean, really?

Her only defence is that it was one of those shit bike racks you're expected to just shove a wheel into. I pointed out she might be better off reversing in which might at least give her a chance of locking the frame. Bet she's not paid the slightest bit of notice.

believe me, people can be surprisingly stupid.

believe me, people can be surprisingly stupid.

Most of them aren't even that bright.

I tried to explain to ..............blah,blah....... really get it.

hmmp, i wonder how she came to have the spare at home, maybe it came from the previous bike she had that was taken because she locked it the same way.

Once I carefully locked up my nice mountain bike with a big D-lock and a long cable through both QR wheels. When I came out of the cinema some cunt had nicked the skewers. Had to push it home...

@Baxter Haha now that's funny (sorry)!

I see some truely awful attempts at locking out side a tube station near work - I'll try and take a few photos next week.

it's when you lock the bike up perfectly with good locks and you return to bike to find key still in lock, that's when you do a face palm

I found this some summers ago, if I had taken a photo ya probubly would have though it was fake.

Anyway, it was a brand new moped, proplerly locked up, the handlebar lock in and a really heavy chain thru the backwheel and a lamppost (that's how to lock a moped right?), and the keys resting on the seat... fail.

Here's another one. I lend my bike to my brother on the condition that he always lock it up properly, the bike was some year but really nicely looked after full suspended mtb. He leaves it over night at school.. gone. Some week later I find the lock in the cellar..........*

*in his defence, he stole it back later but it was all messed up.

it sound like she had her old bike nicked that way since she mentioned she got a spare front.

No way!!!!????

brap!

not the ultimate way to lock it but certainly no fail there. It's not like I could just pick it up and ride it away is it?

It's a good job they put the pedal in the mix, makes a huge difference....

a household tools can easily cut that frankly, and there are kids who are always on the lookout for dodgy locking bike everyday, and steal the one that are the easiest to cut.

Some friends and I got a stationary exercise bike from a skip and locked it up on some bike racks in the city centre in York. It was there for well over a year.

Well, I found it funny anyway.

Me too. Ha Ha

Not so much how as where..

Looks like someone stuck a note in their spokes. I assume it said something like "You knob"

3 years ago... I think, if I was kryptonite, I'd get on the case pretty quickly...

that was years ago, and since people worked that out Kryptonite replaced all the locks with flat key ones.

init.

jeez.

Yeah, old news. Unlucky. Minds were not blown.

Okay beautiful people. I'm gonna kick some knowledge to yall. SOme are going to love, some are going to have but you will all learn. If you think your new/super expensive kryptonite lock will keep your bike safely locked up outside at night- stop dreaming! Them shits are just disuasive but not impossible to break. With just a pen that beautiful bike of yours you spent months building- or maybe its all you savings that went into it- could disappear.
Check the videos on youtube and watch how simple it is to pick kryptonite locks..... YouTube- kryptonite lock 1

Woohoo. Way to go kryptonite!!!!

Old news, and Krypto recalled and replaced all defective locks. The new keyways are flat, antipick disc locks. The only weakness other than brute force on the NY locks is heat, and Kry. are working on that at my suggestion.

this was well over 4 years ago.

YouTube- EPIC Facepalm

haha, textbook! is that the cut through between wardour (i think?) and soho square?

Yep, you quite often see people jacking up there. Not sure what makes it an ideal spot for heroin but there you go.
