Ways not to lock your bike

Interesting, the likelyhood of the bike not being trashed while it's locked like that though? Wouldn't take much weight from the top to knacker the chainstays.

well from the article it looks more like a proof of concept, would need a decent manufacturing company to fix potential problems like that (if it can be done)

The most nasty ingredient of all, though, is the Oreos. Most artificial, sickening "cookies" ever made. Texture and taste is as if somebody has blended together margarine, that artificial cream in a can they're so fond of (forget the name), chocolate powder and cat litter.

They're called Americans...

Can't wait to fit it to my ti frame. Pity I'd have to take both wheels, cranks and the saddle with me. I'd have to also remove bars, headset, and stem, because they will be stolen once someone vandalises the frame.

I guess you could hinge the chain stays so the rear wheel presses against the seat post.

Very clever/interesting concept (although I wouldn't want one)

^ did you draw that yourself?

It looks like it, doesn't it? No, not me.

as seen outside a deli in Shad Thames this morning

No one would steal one of those Old Skool Hooligan bikes anyway.

Amazingly, this is the second time I've seen this. It's on rossmore road, maybe the thieves round there are just a bit more discerning...
oh balls, huge image, hang on.

Maybe it's too big for them. Looks massive in that photo.

There aren't many bikes our officious security guard can remove from the railings outside work with his blunt bolt cutters but this guy made it easy, bye bye bike.

Outside Surrey Quays Shopping centre at about 9pm saw a Specialized road bike converted single/fixed with chain tensioner with 2 quick release wheels and 2 locks but only the D-Lock was used for frame with railing and the other was just sitting on the stem. Very nice SRAM carbon deep v rims, was gonna leave you a note but no pen and I stood around for about 20mins waiting but the guy never turned up so went home. I HOPE you didn't get robbed.

Saw this on Highbury & Islington end of Balls Pond Road.
Missing the actual locking mechanism of the D-lock.
Was tempted to wait around for the owner but I was carrying two rapidly cooling pizzas and was keen to fill my head up with cheese and dough.

Ok this is a weird idea, however the bike has to be built like this:

combined into the belt drive bike would kill two birds with one stone.

could also double as a way to make the bike easier to transport (remove rear wheel and fold rear triangle)

I spotted this the other day

me, dancing?

i've heard dammit has tourettes

Something about B Twins.
I've seen this a couple of times, same place, different days. It's on Rossmore Road in Marylebone which is a pretty shitty area, fuck knows why it hasn't been taken.
Please be aware: the post it's 'locked' to is only about 7 feet tall.

I'm liking the padlock around the spoke, how could you possibly steal it with that masterpiece of spoke lockery?

They're shit

^ They may well be shit but its still fifty quids worth of crack for some bum, and then more wasted time for police etc just lock it properly, my bike is shit but it still gets a good lock every-time I'm not on it...

the b'twin vitamins cost £69 new when they were sold. who'd spend £50 on a lock to protect a £70 bike?
