Ways not to lock your bike

They're nicked right? Surely you wouldn't ring up those kinds of charges on your own account...

csb:

I've seen a young lad a few times on The Isle of Dogs with a Boris Bike as his daily run around. He (or someone) has tried their best to un-Boris it. They've removed all the fairing, mudguards, stickers and lights etc. Still no mistaking it for a Bo Bike though.

How much were they after? Dimi could probably get you one fo free...

£20 although I reckon I could have haggled him down some...

Some one at uni doesn't quite understand the concept...

I was in cambridge this weekend and saw three arriving into town near the hospital.

^ impressive

Probably not much risk of theft but ...

More like, how not to take care of your bike.

If only we could get away with using locks like that

How can you effectively lock a tarck bike with 88mm rims. 3 dlocks? 1 + megachain?

Hoke says he deploys 4 dlocks! Awaiting visuals

One big dlock, one chain/extension/cable lock?

Have the chain so tight that even after undoing the nuts you can't get the back wheel out and then just lock front and frame with large d lock.

Unless your wheels are extraordinarily valuable, relying on extension cable for wheels is probably sufficient.

Drill a Dlock size hole in the rim, lock them normally :P

They are unbranded crabonz from China so def not Zipp money but would just hate to get done. I think a combo of the above plus all the usual measures to avoid getting robbed will suffice. Thanks all.

Lulz. Ver ver clever young man

^^ if you're leaving them long it might be safer and easier to just carry a small spanner. take one off and d lock it with the other + frame. also helps fill up a big D

Yeah that is a good point actually. I am pretty good at not leaving long and bring inside at work etc but do carry a spanner already so really wouldn't be much fuss at all.

I suppose they might be sitting in view in that location ... hopefully the bike isn't still there otherwise the road sign is a dead giveaway!

Thats a shame to see

you should have stolen it for me

d lock to a wire fence... easier to cut through the fence.

put large d-lock through spokes and over the rear seat stays.
mini d on front wheel and downtube.
