Ways not to lock your bike

I own a bike like this. Super awkward to lock, as the only loop in the frame is the tiny triangle. The one on mine is even smaller.

I think that rack is more fail than anything, look how thin that wire is.

There are some for whom that would be an irresistible target.

Id probably go for it, even though I really really dont want it.

Just seems too tempting, might say it was a protest/demonstration to show them how it feels to get a bike pinched.

(also note the two ATB locked to each other under the railing - clever!)

I saw this the other day, I was passing on a bus, couldn't take a picture and so I have accurately re-created it with a drawing. Either some joker somehow climbed up and fed it over the top or it's just plain magic

this is one of the fave tricks of some of the plasterers/dry liners i work with.

Never lock your bike on street over night stupid young
Teenager like to steal or just ruin them hate it man.

Remember to lock your wheels kids:

and buy some foot retention while you're buying new wheels...

That's the best sentence I've ever read.

cable and a carabiner of some kind...

do creates come with wishbone seatstays these days?

I just saw a pretty nice conversion, locked with a cable lock around one of the forklegs, and the front wheel had a quickrelease...

Stealable in like 5 seconds.

This is how they do it in Boston, USA.

Photo taken yesterday by my friend, no-one took the bike even after many hours.

Hah, the optical illusion lock method.

Saw this yesterday in Fulham - great use of the bike rack here.

I've used the optical illusion method with my hack, when I've forgotten my lock.

I'm sure all the SW19 guys here have seen this on Wimbledon Broadway recently.

Spend £80 on a quality lock and then stick it through a QR wheel. Madness.

Pretty sure all you need is an allen key to have this one away. Outside Sainsbury in Dalston's Kingslands Centre, not the safest spot as I've seen a bloke run into Sainsbury shouting 'Someone's stole my bike'.

at look mum a few fridays ago.

One of the best so far. I envy that person's total lack of mistrust and paranoia. His brain must be all telletubbies group hugs and stuff.

me lastnight. single lock (fagh..) but in kilburn outside overnight. mildly excited when my front wheel was still there.

Same bike from page 15 locked the same way.. This time joined by a peugeot with a quick release front wheel.. There are better racks just on the other side of the building!

Was in thame the other weekend, there was a a pretty bob jackson touring frame with all the panniers sitting outside the sainsburies Metro just sitting on the pedal on the curb.

Don't use an OnGuard/ Magnum!
