Ways not to lock your bike

Quick release bike parking, Old Street. - YouTube

Stopped on Old Street today so locked up near the tube station, north-east side on the pavement. As I started getting my locks out my bike inexplicably started to lean over... the reason was this stand had previously been cut in two and could swing freely.

I didn't notice it on approaching because it was 'closed' without an obvious gap, so watch out. I reported it to Hackney as a fault.

Shit. That's bad!

I've got a feeling that that location is in Islington Borough though.
