Ways not to lock your bike

no foot retention

no brakes

I'm out

ridden by a gimp

Do you not still need a lock or two anyway?

I guess from the pics that the frame doesn't lock together and the wheels can still be nabbed easily.

Fail thread>>>>>>>>>

There some dude who I see quite often locking his folder using a technique like the bendy bike....
Only he wraps it round a Sheffield stand so no-one else can lock to the other side.

Pisses me off.

I haven't said anything though. I just mumble rage to my self as I wander off.

I think he'd need to give some Gs or Hs if he saw this thread...

He's clearly just been given a primer on the words 'quid' and 'nicked'

So locked my bike up in shorditch for about an hour tonight, nyc fahg locking the frame to the sheffield stand, and an abus extendo-licorice-piece-of-shit-loop-lock through my brooks saddle, both wheels and the d-lock. Come back to my bike to find the cable cut, and my seat and seat post gone.

Possible morals:

• don't use an extendo-licorice-piece-of-shit-loop-lock, secatuers make short work of these
  
• don't buy a brooks
  
• don't lock your bike in shoreditch
  

Lots of brooks theft at the moment, check out other thread (search for brooks joblot). Worth getting yourself down to Brick Lane asap.

So had my bike stripped of anything not bolted down 2 weeks ago in shorditch as well... I'll be on foot next time I need to go there

Saw this the other morning. It was still there when i went past in the evening although someone had moved it

Dude. Just read this on the stolen bikes thread.

Might be worth giving the guy a ring if you aren't around Brick Lane already.

Saw this corker the other day:

Ouch!

I never lock up to lamp posts. Mainly because my D locks don't allow it, but also because I see so many bikes attached to lamp posts lying on the floor after being knocked over. Anyway, that is some terrible parallel parking!

Ways not to park your car thread

Fuck, if I returned to my bike and found that had happened, regardless of whether it was a wise place to park the bike or not, the owner would be returning to a car sans wing mirrors, windscreen wipers, and air in the tyres.

^this.

Another GEM. Inner Temple, Wednesday afternoon. Cut brake cables and bike's gone. ROFL.

But seriously, wtf?

yeah, you will get a ticket for having a wheel on the pavement like that, what an idiot

Just noticed sad keanu-esque guy in the background. Wonder if it was his car...
