search fail, yeah you got me, i was thinking cheap, rather than unattractive...

im gona make my next one all white, so it looks like a ghost bike and then stick a little plaque on it saying "in remembrance of my beloved, Super Colnago"

Im pretty sure I have seen someone riding a ghost bike a few months back, but I decided I must be seeing things. Hopefully someone had the same idea as you.

to put thieves off, run the wrong sized wheel on front.

Spotted this in France.... It certainly works for me!!!

Thats about 2 quids worth of wilkos finest, right there........

and nicely waterproof too

As long as it's wrapped from the bottom up.

Why bother? It looks shite anyway.

Hadn't considered that...
Oh wait, I did and was just running with the theme.

Sad reality is that if a bike is poorly locked the thieves will steal anything. Even to sell it for like a tenner.

I have heard stories of junkies stealing £800 quid bikes and giving them to their dealers in exchange for like a score bag of smack.

I would just lock it as securely as you can maybe next to poorly locked bikes so they get stolen and not yours. Or you could remove all the branding from your bike so then they will have less of an idea of the bikes value.

Or you could always piss on it. Who wants a bike that smells of piss?

Veronica Moser?

Grow some plants on it.

Can't find the thread/posts about growing stuff on your bike, so here will do.

For the love of God...

"Do you love riding your bike? What about plants? Bring your plants on an adventure and let them enjoy some sunshine and fresh air! If you’ve ever dreamed about attaching a plant to your bike, now you’re in luck!"

for plants usually found in earthquake zones ?

This won't make your bike unattractive to thieves, except maybe after the fact.

Is someone else doing this already?
Seems like a good idea if it works.

Don't those things have a limited range?

I think they work using cell phone signals?
At least that was the impression given by neat little lines that the video showed (with the sound muted).
