    I reckon we'll be getting our version of this - Dublin style - when the Velib scheme starts and the some scroats pitch a few into the trees on O'Connell Street!!!

    Yep, with a minimal investment of A Hook On A Stick you have all the free bikes you can eat.

    Or an expensive solution to a non-existent problem?

    Very easily modified to prevent the bike being removed until the hook is down at ground level. Would also prevent bent wheels and cut cables.

    Looks like a Sunday morning at a certain Arthurs Quay park in the Mid West before they cut the trees to retrieve the bikes!

    I'd get a harness and hook myself up there, then jump down when people are passing and scare them.

    if each of the segments of the tree were divided by a partition wall and the base followed the bike up the bike would be sealed in a little box till you came back.
