Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

A decent pocket knife would sort the cable tie in fraction of a second. Too risky I guess.

it's not cable ties. it's a pair of cheap bike locks. I've got a yellow one in my saddle bag and I'm quite surprised how much effort it took to break it

Should have just left him there and finished the game

Ah right, that sounds good for the club run cafe lock-up then. What brand?

that doesn't look too diffucult to pick though, honestly

yeah, it's only for cafe stops and goalpost protests.

What's the weight like and how compact does it roll?

I got a couple of cheap cable locks for my bike tour. They were fine, but I would have liked them to roll down more.

Kinda like this

I think the wiggle link says 20g. it's certainly light.

I bend it round an inner tube in a small saddle bag so it doesn't take up much extra space. the keys is small and I just always have it with my house keys.

it's quite short so you have to lock it to something thin. although, as demonstrated above, you could chain them together.

I also own a couple. Useful to have for pit stops

I hope this guy knows how much awareness he's raised around the issues of lightweight bike locks

I was surprised how long it took for the conversation on here to pivot to the viral marketing of hiplok.

Nice, ta.

Surprised it wasn’t easier and safer to dismantle the goalpost tbh

I really doubt that the protestors safety was high in the priority of anyone there

Disagree, they would have used an angle grinder if they didn't give a shit. Even the least media literate person there would have realised what a nightmare injuring that guy would have been.

They could've at least got someone who knows how to use bolt croppers though, that guy smashing them about like he's trying to cut his hair is mad. I've got a couple of those hiplock zipties and they're just to stop people walking off with your unlocked bike, a sturdy pull will probably break the mechanism and bolt croppers or cable snips would be straight through them, I can only assume the jaws on them weren't properly adjusted and didn't meet in the middle.

Ish. I mean of course they didnt want to main the dude, but I doubt they were worried about his wellbeing generally. There was a mania about getting him off the field above all else. They started by trying to hack it with a key or penknife that someone in the crowd had chucked the steward. The really safe thing would have been to have called in the attending fire crew to free him.

they would have used an angle grinder if they didn't give a shit

If they really didn't give a shit they'd have used a felling axe, which would have rendered his choice of attachment device moot
