That'll stop 'em!

I saw a girl 'locking' her bike up, on my way back from Brighton last month. She got the lock around the frame and wheels okay, then locked it around a small bollard, with no top bit . Bless.

Didn't our Mr Cameron do something similar outside Tesco's in Portobella Road.

I thought it was going to be this one that is doing the rounds on Facebook:

Fairly distinctive....

I 'wooden' want to ride that - too much risk of splinters...

Yes, you might get a bit 'saw'.
And you'd look a total plank.

Without wanting to sound snobby, would you really want to steal a Reebok bike!

A change of tack this morning...

When I walked past some bike stands at Sheffield University I saw that student bikes locked by the front wheel had the rest of the bike stolen. Those locked by the frame had the wheels stolen. Bikes securely locked had their wheels and frames jumped on, presumably to teach students not to lock their bikes securely!

I was going to suggest that it could be a police decoy bike, with a tracker in the frame. But if it's been locked up differently today I don't think it is.

Saddest thing I've seen is a kyptonite d lock securely attached to a stand, with both ends of a cable through it. The cable was cut, and of course there was no bike. Clearly someone had used the cable to secure their bike to the stand, and used the D lock as a padlock.

Also, in London, a lonely pannier rack securely D-locked to a stand.

and my perennial favourite ...
