What happens when you only lock the front wheel

Shows some talent - although the other 3 bikes don't look like they're locked at all

I thought this was a thread about only using the front brakes. How wrong I was .

If I were to ever use one of this bike stands, I would make sure to lock my bike sideways and secure both wheels to the frame and bike stand. Or I would just find a suitable railing nearby.

Is that why Peter Sagan learnt to wheelie...?

Lock the frame to the front wheel & the front wheel to the rack.

Just take a day off, lie in wait and shoot the b-----d. It really does give SUCH a feeling of satisfaction.

My local Morrisons has 'cycle parking' similar to this, you can only lock the front wheel to the loops stuck on the wall, and there isn't anything else to fasten bikes to securely, apart from one cast iron gate which you can only really fasten one bike to at a time. I try to avoid going there if I am cycling, I'd rather go to other stores which actually have proper cycle racks for their customers.

Always take the saddle with you. Also the owner could have turned bike around and locked rear wheel with front alongside rear as well through which lock would also pass. Also this not a real theft. Staged.

This is fake by the way. It was done to show the flaw of only locking the wheel to something.
