As a bicyclist myself I've got to ask: Where the hell is that guy locking up that bike? Baghdad?
Thats a bit overkill if he's just running into the store or stopping for a bite (which is the only time I ever chain up to a street sign or the like). Kinda defeats the purpose of having two spots to chain to when one guy runs two different locks through the whole thing. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: I run a very tin cable through my front tire for longer events, but that thing is just overkill. Also the bikes are meant to be secured with one on each side, so this setup still works. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: China. You can still get a bike stolen here in the time it takes to visit an ATM - even with it chained to a pole and a wheel lock. #gizmodoremainders
@Toastie: Yeah it still works, just not as well as it could have.
You can get two bikes on a sign too, one on each side, but then you end up fumbling around the other guy's stuff, getting stuff looped, and maybe tangled. None of its a big deal, it can just get to be a hassle. A hassle that could be avoided had jackass not locked his bike down like fort knox when he's just getting a pack of gum. #gizmodoremainders
@senorbelly: Wow, they poop like us. They have the shake-off at the end, and then they turn around and admire their work. You learn something new every day.
That's eerily similar to the aftermath when I told my GF that she'd be as cute as her sister if she took some extra weight off. My eyebrows took three months to grow back.
@GitEmSteveDave_TheREALChrisChan: Dude I hope you didn't go for the "honesty is the best policy"/"you can tell me anything" line. That's guaran-damn-teed to start an argument.
@GitEmSteveDave_TheREALChrisChan: You just had to go and poke a stick into that hornet's nest didn't you? When you do that the hornets are naturally going to become pissed and sting you.
@Software_Goddess: Reminded me of mushrooms. And then badgers, and now I hate myself cause I'm stuck with this song in my head for the rest of the day.
