I always use a cable round the front wheel and into a d-lock which I have through the rack, rear wheel and frame and I hate seeing the hanging d-lock thing. So I was a bit embarrassed when I came out and discovered that I hadn't actually put the d-lock round the bike rack. Oops. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=662#post-5690 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:26:37 +0000 chdot 5690@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/4523873874">At least this one has its frame locked!</p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2775/4523873874_b3387d6972.jpg"><br /> </a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=662#post-5663 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:54:52 +0000 SRD 5663@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"looks like they have lost the key"</p> <p>maybe that's it.</p> <p>"where did you say it was..."</p> <p>couldn't possibly say... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=662#post-5662 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:50:48 +0000 chdot 5662@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"So, you could ride off without undoing the lock"</p> <p>"It's there again today!"</p> <p>looks like they have lost the key</p> <p>where did you say it was... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=662#post-5660 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:46:45 +0000 SRD 5660@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's there again today!

So, you could ride off without undoing the lock, but would leave lock behind. If you actually wanted to take lock with you, you'd have to get out your key and unlock it. </p> <p>Was so baffled that I stopped to take a couple of pictures on my phone (would post them but I don't know how to get them off phone). </p> <p>Then, at lunch, wandered past the bike, noticed bike (and lock) were gone. THEN, looked at my bike and saw that I'd never actually locked my lock on. Boy did I feel stupid. (To be fair, the lock is a bit tricky, I don't think I'd completely neglected to lock it, just that I'd not checked that it had 'latched')</p> <p>But, that'll teach me to laugh at other people's locks! </p>
