Commuting - In search of your old locks.

Does anyone here have any strong locks such as chains or u-locks that you don't need anymore and could send my way?
Just for the hell of it, I'm going to lock up an old toys r us bike that I don't need anymore to a post in manhattan with about 10 locks on it to see how long it'll last out there. I already have 4 collected.
Take that casual opportunist bike thief!

If you're smart, you'll claim it's a sculptural work of art and get someone to sponsor you erecting it in a park.

;)

Maybe put a "steal this one @$%#" ho-made sticker on it and post a photo here!- sorry I have no locks for you.

Actually as an added theft deterrant, I will have a note saying, "I'm inside one of these buildings waiting with a 9mm."

It's a 26" murray mtb hardtail. I'll probably make sure to loosen up the brakes in the event that they do get through and ride away with it.

I'll see if I can take the seat apart and install sharp barbs right underneath the fabric.

I got too much time on my hands...

You might instead find a flock of fellow cyclists gathering, waiting to catch a glimpse of the fellow who would guard a Murray bicycle with a firearm. :p

I think that's a great idea, slvoid!!! I wonder if loosening the handlebar stem just a little would be just as effective but less initially noticeable? That would be great-hop a curb or hit a pothole and lose control? SUCKER!!!!!!!!! he he he Hopefully they would crack their head open!!!

Yeah I was gonna raise the seat up real high, loosen up the brake cables, leave it in high gear.

If I hear on the evening news some guy got creamed by a cab while riding a murray bike as he sailed into traffic at 20mph, that'd be awesome.

LMAO! :D :D

Almost as good as smearing the handlebars with a 'Poison arrow frog'

Let us know what happens.

Sad but true.
