How cool are you now that your hip & trendy locking method just turned into a permanent art sculpture! Strangely enough, odds are it probably would turn into some renowned art sculpture.
WTF? How is that trendy? Have you never gone out with a bunch of your bike friends before? There is limited space for locking up bikes and sometimes it's just easier to lock your bike to your friend's bike instead of finding a free pole two blocks away.
