Saw this classic locking technique the other day, but didn't think the bike would last long here in parkwest. Amazingly though, it's till there today!

Clearly even the local junkies don't think it's worth robbing - still I would have thought they'd find a use for it - probably to weigh a body down in the canal or something :pac:

It has to be a trap. When that cable gets cut....BOOM!

Oooooh a honeypot - hadn't thought of that. Reckon it's a rival faction fued? Have the Sharks been stealing BSOs from the Jets turf?

Reminds me of a bike that I saw on St Gt Georges St not so long ago. Lovely old steel framed racer locked only by its quick release front wheel.

Wouldn't it take a while to disconnect the cable and then reconnect it so that braking/shifting was just so? I think that man is on to something.
