Ways not to lock your bike

Rejoice in the knowledge that this belongs to a university student, and that there was a lamp-post about 2 feet to the right, by the rear wheel, never mind the many actual bike stands around... le sigh

yes but look at the nasty choice of front mud guard..... THat is all.

actually it isn't, why do people buy mtb's for using around town, and then add mud guards? the whole point in riding off road is to get filthy, then sit down in a pub afterwards next to a family in their best out for their £5.99 sunday roast, in that situation it is impossible to wipe the smile off my face :D
