Never use cable locks. They’re so useless. We came out to this about 2 hours after the previous video (about Masonville Mall’s horrid parking situation)… to find this tiny little cable lock “locking” this bike to the bike rack 🤦♂️
People always wonder why bike theft is so high… but then go ahead and use literally the WORST locks imaginable to lock their bicycles.
Like seriously? AT LEAST TRY! And while you’re at it, get rid of all of your quick-release bits and replace them with either proper bolts and nuts or better yet: a full set of pinhead locks! (https://pinheadlocks.com)

THIS is how you get your bike stolen. See, those two bikes on the right are ours. And on the left is this silly little cable lock protecting this bike. I mean, it’s not a multi-thousand dollar bike, it’s a super cycle. BUT… do you want that to vanish? Forget bolt cutters, you could probably use a butter knife to cut through cable locks with enough time. Easier thing to do is use scissors. OR… NEVER in your life use cable locks. How about that?

Bro no one's gonna steal $140 bike from walmart💀💀
They wouldn't get anything from it just trouble
Man I just ride a dirt jumper around with a masterlink chain and just take the chain off whenever I leave the bike somewhere (I also lock it up but no chain is an extra deterrent and it works really well)
the way that was locked around shocks you could just quick release the tire, put it back on and go. lmao
I have that same cable lock. Remember thieves are opportunists they will steal your bike based off how easy it is and they don’t care if people are around. The harder you make your bike to steal or concealed will involve a better chance of thefts being deterred
my bike was stolen todAY AND I SEE THIS
No lock will stop a grinder. Locks are just a deterrent
Its prob a kid
Learned my lesson after my e-bike was stolen. Never, ever use cable locks.
The lock will detour theives and if it is stolen you can get insurance
Nobody is mentioning that it is also locked at the front fork meaning you just need to take the front wheel off and just like that you have a bicycle
Flexing those abus u locks I see
Soooo, you only seem ro have protected the frame on your bike. Use the Sheldon Method to secure the expensive back wheel AND frame at least.
trying to find best to use cable lock with wave rack because that is all I have and all these smart alec videos waste time telling what not to do and nothing showing how to acually do it. WASTE OF TIME!
What lock to get get then?
I got my gyrocoptor rizz ebike stone cuz I was using a $15 Walmart cable lock
I already bought a cable lock😔
Something's better than nothing
i saw a cable lock on a low end good bike around the front tire only, it was also a quick release wheel too
What if it's a thick cable lock
Thats why im glad i dont live in a country full of criminals.
You can have the cheapest lock all you have to do is flatten a tire they won't take it
Just cut the bike rack , even a 500€ locker won’t secure it
U locks can break as well
