How Not to Lock Your Bike - Neatorama

Does this look like it would deter any bicycle thief whatsoever? See a collection of lock and logic failures for both bikes and bigger vehicles in a collection at Locksmiths-R-Us. Link -Thanks, David!

Its not the worst lock up idea, try and roll the bike forward with that thing in the spokes and see how far you fucking get.....dumbasses!

Or take the wheel off and walk away with a bike. Dumbass.

Someone could easily take that front wheel off and walk of with it, dumbass.

Actually, you can remove the wheel and take the bike itself. Then you just need to replace the wheel, which is what some bike thieves do. So it's still a bad idea.

OR wait until the owner unlocks the bicycle, then beat the crap out of him/her take bike AND wallet.

Hi.

It's a sandwich board.

You just lift it up two inches.

I am pretty sure they did realize it was chained to a sandwich board...they were discussing the fact that when you lift the sandwich board, the lock is still on the bike, therefore the wheel should be removed.

It would be a simple matter to pick up the bike and carry it off, wheel, lock, and all.

Just lift the sign and then carry the bike wherever you want, maybe even rolling it on the back wheel and holding up the front. Then cut the chain when you reach your "workshop". Pretty easy.

There's no way that flimsy bike can keep that sandwich board from being stolen!

has anyone noticed that you could just lift up that board and slide the chain out from under it?

that's such a lame way to chain up your bike. really, the chain should go around something that's hard to lift up!

mmm... sammichis...

Regardless of what the chain is *around*, you shouldn't lock through just your front wheel - super easy to remove and walk off with the rest of the bike. Here are some really excellent locking tips: http://www.montaguebikes.com/folding-bikes-blog/2010/12/preventing-bike-theft/

The dumb photographer doesn't show the whole bike. Maybe the rear end is chained to something? Maybe not.
