Ways not to lock your bike

Does anyone have any busted locks that are going in to the bin as I have a cordless angle grinder and want to do some testing?

There were plastic barriers like that on part of Euston Road a while back, right outside a building I used to deliver to on a regular basis.

for 5 days?

What?

Kinky.

Actually did this outside Morrisons in Peckham. Realised just as I began to walk off.
It looked correctly locked up but if you look close enough it's not even around the bloody metal. I don't think anyone would noticed anyway, but still. Would not enjoy a loss and the journey back to Islington.

Felt like a right plum.

so very much fail.

I did the very same thing last week, locked bike at train station, went off to work.... Come back a good 9 hours later, bike has been knocked over and I realise it's not locked to anything at all. Oops. Probably not worth stealing tbh...

I did this (momentarily) at the same Morisons! Was on my Peckham pushie, my mind was addled with flu, chained it up to the flimsy chain that's outside. This thread suddenly came to mind and thought wouldn't it be 'hilarious' if I'd done the same thing. Better just give it a check...

Saw this outside tesco's in Surrey Quays last night £1000 bike locked with something you could cut through with toenail clippers

brave. i triple locked mine there and kept checking it. lots of types milling about.

By the looks of the chain they don't take much care of it anyway...

whoever this was seems to have tried to think this through, which makes the complete lack of actual locking all the more impressive

Spooky, I also did the same thing at that very Morrisons the other day, luckily my girlfriend noticed before we walked off!

Good place to nick bikes, this Morrisons.

We have a winner.

frame + rear wheel appear to be d-locked.

its quite clear that the other lock is designed to make the bike too heavy for the theif to walk off with

have to be honest, didn't spot the d-lock through the rear wheel and frame, the d-lock and the cable made me laugh too much!

I was in Japan last year and passed a bike park. Hundreds of bikes and only a handful of them even had locks on, none of them were locked to anything. Going back in a couple of weeks, I'll try and get some pics.

^This is not London my friend.

The pikey's would have a field day in Japan. So would the Scallys.

That's been there for years. clearly quite a good lock :-)
You'd think the victim would at least unlock it and take it with him.

At last years strawberry fair in cambridge (shame there isnt one this year) my friend didnt have a lock, so he locked his brake cable to one of them metal temporary fences with a gym locker padlock. genius! :P

Maybe they lost the keys to their lock, so just left the bars and took the rest
