Ways not to lock your bike

both in manchester about a month ago

The one round the A stand is loooool

In the bike lockup corridor at work. The wheels on the Misty are just 24in, the hoops aren't that high. Decent lock, shitty technique.

in answer to your edit - a bit of both

Shiiiiiit what happened there?

I bet something like this....

Could be one of these:

Pony was your bike involved or did you just witness the aftermath?

Shiiit! looks like a steamroller!

See the first pair of feet in the picture? well look at the bikes next to them, the back half is missing from the light blue mtb / hybrid and the wheels are missing form the other. Now the wheels could have been stolen from the second but I doubt that anyone stole half a fucking bike. With that amount of force it could only have been:

whatever is was didn't damage heavily the black rails....

Think its quite feasible it was a van or small truck at speed - wont be much visible damage because of soft front/rear bumpers. The force involved has (obviously) still been more than enough to flatten all of them. Theyre not strong...

You can just about see a skid mark at the top right of the picture. Probably a car or something like that

No background on this I'm afraid.
Its one of Matt Stuarts superb shots:
