How To Lock Your Bike

is the bee bike yours? The pic turned up in my twitter feed somehow.

I actually know someone who wants a swarm of bees (they have got an empty hive for honey making). It's easy to get folks to come and take the bees away, apparently swarms are quite the commodity.

When it comes to swarm season (about now), the waiting list can get quite long (ask your local apiary to get on the list), and you can never own a swarm. So if your bees swarm, you have to follow them or be prepared to wait...

Shame the rear light is blocked by the saddle chain

no its not

Yesterday at Smithfield Market:

Nice approach!

Has someone tried to distract it with a cinnamon roll so they can take they bike?

Locking up in Hackney: D-lock through back wheel / frame, mini D-lock through front wheel and fork.....girlfriends d-lock through frame too haha. Was still worried I'd come back to a saddlelss, barless, stemless, tyreless bike.

Front D isn't working as hard as it could.

It would be more secure to have the front wheel straight then feed the D through the rim and then around the bike frame and the Sheffield stand .
Like this.

Random picture stolen off the internets

Is it just about doable with 30mm deep rims, and standard Sheffield stand, 531ish gauge tubing and a KryptoEvo Mini D

cross posting on scobles request from the locks that work thread...

finally got a chance to take pics of the mini fagh locking rear(dp18 rim/28c tyre)/frame/sheffield stand.

I also figured out how to lock my front/frame/sheffield stand with an evo mini for the first time too...

dredging mine up for reference also...

Wheel's not secured.

can it barkspin?

Does spraying a good bike 2 make it look crap make any difference? I'm so sick of my bikes getting nicked.

Mine and Ada's bikes locked together at Westfield Stratford.

Just in case you can't see - there is a mini evo, two fahgs, kryptonite chain, fahg chain and a series 2 kryptolok.

BEAST!

saddle?

someone nicked your saddle.

possibly not the best practice

i would have used the fahg's to lock the rear wheels rim and rear triangle of each bike to the sheffield stand, then the weaker shackle locks to keep the front wheels locked to either the frames or the stand

the cable lock is fairly pointless, the big chain lock a little superflous

if someone was coming to the game able to hack the two fahg locks the tiny padlock on the chain would be an easy job for them

I agree, it's a poor example.
Done in a hurry, we're running late, didn't have time to think it through.
Jake's front wheel = fail.

so why was it posted here? should be in the how not to lock thread

its not that bad.. jeez

Yeah, fuck. No one nicked it, and no one would.

so they took all the time to remove the saddle but not enough to lock the bikes in the best manner given the arsenal available to them. not exactly an awesome job

I think this is a fail due to lock/weight economy. Sure the bikes are secure, but you are definitely not making the most of the locks you have there. Of which there are probably too many.

They should be ashamed of themselves. Flaunting their sub-optimal locking like some tart with torn knickers. No one wants to see that. For shame!

I'd have a sticky-beak

^me too, magistrates should always adhere to the law.
