Ways not to lock your bike

Fair point but we both had bikes, locked together.

Cheeky fuckers have also used another bike as well as just a lock.

^^^ Fair warning. Wasn't me guv.

Well, you got to do... What you got to do...

Just went to get my bike from in front of the library on campus. Undid the d lock and realised there was another bike propped on the same side of the stand as mine. Thought they had locked to me, but no it was just leaning there with its lock hanging off the seatpost.

Do not scavenge bike parts, you could very easily be arrested. Just because you may have seen other instances where it has been done seemingly without recourse, don't think it definitely won't happen to you.

If you do find that someone has locked your bike with an extra lock, phone the police switchboard and ask for your local station. Let them know this has happened and that you think the intention is to steal your bike. Tell them you are going to cut off the offending lock and ask for a reference number from whoever you speak to. That way, if plod do approach you and ask why you are cutting the lock, you can explain it to them, give them the reference number (preferably a CAD number) and all SHOULD be ok. Also, keep plenty of photos of your bike and any serial numbers (a full list of components is also handy).

Rest assured people do get arrested for these kind of things. I (during my term with the MPS) arrested two yoots in Clapham for hanging around the locked bikes behind Clapham Common Tube Station. One had a bike lock but no bike and the other had bolt cutters, both knew each other. Both were arrested for going equipped to steal. Don't let it happen to you.

Repped. Should be in a FAQ somewhere.

Isn't that Dimitri's?

Yes, and we were all standing right there drinking, I just thought it was amusing

How not to lock your hula-hoop?

You'd be able to go through that cable lock in no time with a pair of bolt croppers!

Theres probably another hula hoop locked up nearby with a poi string. Your hoop is safe if one nearby is an easier target..

That was once a wheel on a bike. It's a naked inner tube. Everything had been nicked including the outer tube rubber.

Seriously, Go and peel a tube and check.

love how people lock up their bikes,,,the one locked against a tree,, is he trying to be environmentally friendly , haha

There are about one million bike stands twenty feet from where this plonker has left his bike.
