It would have been the same amount of work to do it properly. Sure, it's only a $200 bike, but this is on a major university campus.

Most people live in Lala land.
Dumb lock use notwithstanding, how the hell ARE you supposed to lock to a rack like that?
This is called freelocking. If you’re just popping in somewhere it works to just keep somebody from riding it away. I’ve done it grabbing a pickup order or something if there’s no bike parking around. This person probably should’ve just locked it regular but if they’re gonna be out in a few minutes they see whoever is lugging this thing away. Not that crazy
Take my Huffy, please! No, really!
It’s like a parking brake for the bike. It won’t go anywhere because the wheel can’t turn lol 😂.
Doesn’t even look like the bike beyond it has any lock. Maybe these are free bikes, ha ha. It actually does, just hard to see. I won’t spoil it, but comment if you see.
Look at that Novara 😍right next to the Huffy. REI made some decent bikes back in the day.
Last week I saw this guy come out of Coles, walk up to his bike (that was locked up in a designated zone), proceeds to remove the key that he has on a key ring attached to the brake housing, and unlocks his bike.
They are trying to give it away 💀
That Huffy sticker is all you need to keep this bike from being stollen.
I think the lock itself is trying to distance itself from the bike. I can’t blame it really. It’s worth more than the bike.
girls
i really dislike the Wheel Bender style racks
that lock job is stressing me out just looking at it, like it’s technically doing something but not the thing it’s supposed to do 😭
$300 lock on a $50 bike. Sigh.
