Ways not to lock your bike

Cool pictures with no bikes in them thread >>>>>>>>

Go on then - get that off.

Undo the stem. Leave the lock on the pole. Put stem back on steerer. Ride away.

Unless there are (good) security bolts on the stem, it's short work with an allen key.

The wheel on the fence... cool photo, the blue sets it off nicely. No doubt the effect the owner was after.

i know broadway market / london fields is practically a safe haven for bikes, but was still slightly surprised this was still here...

is that locking it at all?

That's securely fastened as far as I can see. To take it one would have to move the lock up slightly to disengage it from the bottle cage.

broadway market deffo isnt a safe haven!

yeah wtf! its theft central!

^ come on guys, i was jesting

woops

guessing this is 'merica by the Boda Boda sticker? probably a joke tbh

^ off the boda boda instagram.
they're mocking whoever locked it up

I think it may have been sarcasm?

Left like this for 3 hours outside my work before magically disappearing.

sarcastic locking techniques could be the next big thing, just to confuse those pesky thiefs

I like that idea.

it seemed to make sense at the time

Saw a Specialized propped up outside maccy d's in camberwell green this morning locked only to itself.

i know [location] is practically a safe haven for bikes, but was still slightly surprised this was still here...

Don't give the location when you see a badly-locked bike. However dopey the owner is, it's not fair to them.

Saw this work of genius on some stands where I've seen broken locks before now
