SansSarf,
Thanks for the links and explanation. I remembered it was tried but couldn't remember the details of it. From what I gather bike theft can be a bit of problem in the bigger cities. And the Dutch love their bikes. It is kind of strange to see an old spray painted bike with a $100 chain lock on it, but it makes sense too when you consider that is the main way that person has to get home from where the bike is locked up.
