alan, you should do some consulting for "law and order: criminal intent." i've been obsessed with that show lately. there was a guy trackstanding in an episode i watched recently!!!!!!

that's my only problem with locking it up this way. i see hundreds of bikes/frames, with locks around the wheels that are all twisted up like that, and that is the only reason why i won't do it.

2 ulock minis or mini+ one bigs$$chain, if i'm out of sight for a bit.

I used the "sheldon" technique tonight while I did the "spoke card" photocopy / cut / paste / laminate dance at my friendly neighborhood kinko's.

My fixie neither disappeared or turned into a pretzel. It works, people!

JERKS.

its not that it doesn't work, but as i sit here now i know of 5 frame/wheel/twisted piles of junk. i could never quite figure it out until reading of that locking method. and that 5 is very conservative, hell i'm out of alcohol and will be dashing out in a second... i'll snap a couple pics of these piles of junk and let the pics talk for themselves...

Mine are not going to Austin. That's all I'm sayin'.

If it makes you feel any better, I've yet to see my card too. Oh, and Santa is King of Jerks.

Man, you killed 5 bikes trying to figure out how it works? That's a world record for sure!


PS: two posts up I said "neither....or" which clearly should have been "neither...nor". It was the Schlitz talking.

not really recommended, but...

three bikes, hooked up high on a light pole (those street signs are about 15 feet up). throw a few locks through them and it's pretty secure. not much to use for leverage when you climb up there.
