What if another bike wants to lock up there. </p> <p>Fair play to him for being creative but I think I can hear the kettle boiling - better go fill my chocolate teapot </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1065#post-9877 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:45:14 +0000 Smudge 9877@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So let me get this right... you make the frame floppy, wrap it round a lamp-post (obstructing both sides rather than just one) then use a "normal" bike lock to secure it? But I have to buy his bike and not use my existig nice bikes?</p> <p>Anyone care to explain how this improves on putting a d-lock through my front wheel and frame and securing it to a cycle rack/post/railing? (front wheel gets a cable from the d-lock if it's that expensive/nickable)</p> <p>It's clever, but imho the wrong solution to the problem.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1065#post-9870 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:40:42 +0000 recombodna 9870@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen!! and I used to be a ridiculous things spotter!!! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1065#post-9860 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 13:23:35 +0000 Min 9860@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not as much as it pained the Daily Mail to print a non hate filled story about cycles I'm sure.</p> <p>Our survey says...cute.
