In other words if you want to keep your bike actually secure or usable you're out of luck. Either carry around two 6kg full-size D locks, or a couple of strings of liquorice so you can use the ridiculous things. I wonder if their London office is aware that "this is London, my friends"?
Also, these Airstream jokers may have come up with the silly design, but it was bloody Sainsbury's who bought it off them so the full force of contempt should be aimed at the latter. The fuckers. Look at that bike with the basket on front! Just look at it! How can they possibly think having bikes sprawled all over the pavement like that is better than a row of nice tidy stands?!
