    I saw this excellent use of a lock outside Sainsburys a while back:

    The devil in me wanted to unclip the wheel and move the bike somewhere. But I thought better because I know how knarked I'd be.

    The best thing about that is the unused lock on the seat tube :lol:

    Apparently I was tireder and stupider than I realised this morning. Locked my bike up outside Sainsbury's, thought something looked a bit off, but ignored it in favour of getting inside and finding a can of energy drink. When I got out I realised that instead of threading the lock through the frame as I'd intended to, it was just around the fork and front wheel. Which is quick release.

    :oops:

    Fortunately, it was the Vitamin, which I could probably leave unlocked with a large flashing sign above it saying 'free bike' and it wouldn't go anywhere.

    I wish I'd got a picture of the bike I saw the other day. Locked to railings like the ones below (but without the hole!).
    73592,1218023646,1.jpg

    Normal enough right?

    Except the bike was standing up on it's back wheel, and it was locked to the railing through a padlock which went through the plastic pedal cage and around the horizontal bar of the railing. Genius! :lol:

    There's a rather nice road bike outside work that hasn't moved in about a week. I'm worried that it's going to end up looking like that ^

    Is it wrong for me to cut the lock so that I can have it? I know it's stealing, but it's going to get butchered unless it's moved soon. I hate having a conscience sometimes.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Cut the lock, take it to the local police station, saying you think someone had cut the lock and was going to steal it :lol:

    Then if it's not claimed you might get to keep it!

    Remember when David Cameron got his bike nicked? He very carefully put the lock through the frame and back wheel, but chained it around a 2 foot high bollard, the thief just lifed it off the top :lol:

    Well, just as long as someone else chains it up for him, otherwise one day we'll discover someone's made off with Wales.

    There's a bike like this on the way/too from work, It started of with just the front wheel missing, now everything including the handlebars and pedals are gone. The coil spring is still attached (well it was yesterday)

    I've been trying to steal Wales for ages now, so I can take it to the MEditerranean with some tug boats. But those damned bridges that link it to Englad are pretty freaking strong, and keep stopping me.

    There use to be one locked up at the top of chambers street in edinburgh....

    Everything was removed...And I mean everything...both wheels, cranks, bottom bracket...

    the very last thing to go was the chris king headset!
