I know this is a narrow questions, but do any NYC riders out there use this lock? I haven't seen one anywhere (not for want of looking). I would like to get one but am not sure if you can lock the rear wheel through the triangle to the thick curvy post the DOT uses for bike racks ala the Sheldon Brown method. It seems like the racks are too wide for the lock. Also, I have a Specialized Allez Triple and the rear tire almost touches the seatpost, making it that much harder to fit the lock through.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
