    Not as much as it pained the Daily Mail to print a non hate filled story about cycles I'm sure.

    Our survey says...cute. But no.

    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?

    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)

    It's clever, but imho the wrong solution to the problem..

    Thats just annoying - it takes up both sides of the post. What if another bike wants to lock up there.

    Fair play to him for being creative but I think I can hear the kettle boiling - better go fill my chocolate teapot
