D-Lock is engaged to top tube of frame, great, but then it in turn is locked to a cable loop, which is locked to a drainpipe. Hmmm. Anyone got any bolt croppers? A brand new MTB for the taking. Otherwise, just nick the QR wheels.</p> <p>I tut-tut-tutted my way back from the convenience store... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7482#post-77085 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 22:21:44 +0000 kaputnik 77085@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Locking a bike to another bike is a classic way of prepping it to be nickedt, however sounds a bit like it was just a bit of a chump. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7482#post-77082 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 21:41:30 +0000 CalumX 77082@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>After parking bike near Waverley Station for a few hours tonight, came out to what I thought initially was someone having locked their bike through mine, onto the railings.</p> <p>Closer look showed that they'd locked their D lock through my D-lock. So at least I could get my bike unlocked.</p> <p>But sorry, dear Cannondale Synapse rider, I did hang around and look for you for a fair bit, but there was no way I could lock your bike up again. Did the best I could to make it look like it was still locked.</p> <p>But if its gone, that's down to your rubbish parking. </p>
