Come back after 10 minutes and both wheels will be robbed. Its like they’ve never seen a bike lock before?
Not even. The only way is to walk. And even then, I’d be checking my feet constantly in case someone’s done a runner with my shoes.
Next step: bikes that come with a welders torch and mask. So you just weld your bike to a lamppost and just unweld it when you go home
So like, how do you lock it to a bike rack?
First breeze and it’ll be lying on the ground with people stepping on the wheels to get passed
Pretty sure Anto or Jacinta would saw that lock in two with a mini hacksaw and make off with the bike
Seems like they could just lift it over whatever the post holds. More likely they’ll wreck your bike for being a smart bollox!
The only true deterrent is to use 10 locks. Pain in the hole to lock up the bike every time, but a single lock will be broken by any cunning thief.
That’s a nice unlocked front wheel you have there…
Zooming in, it looks like the lock itself is the weak point. Claw hammer and a wood screw will have that popped in 60 seconds or less.
Not only will this not prevent wheels from being taken off, but it also doesn’t work with most bicycle racks. Locking it to a lamppost can also have it be confiscated.
Just get a normal bike at a fraction of the cost with a decent lock that you can be sure is difficult to pick
The key is to have such a shitty bike no one considers it worth stealing. Real inflation buster that one.
They would break the hinge of the frame just because and leave the bike there because it’s a heap of shite
I know nothing about bikes. Would it be possible to have a chain that is removable as well as locks? Or a foldable wheel rim that would allow you to pop a wheel into a backpack.
Depends how much these bikes cost. Junkies will find a way to steal them if they are worth money. David Attenborough should really do a documentary on them.They are kind of like orangutans only useless to the environment and drug fueled scum.
Eh sometimes I don’t think scrotes want to sell the bikes, they just want to be cunts
If someone seen that bike locked up, and realised they couldn’t cut the lock and still have a functional bike they would probably just make a shit of it
Some cunt will still take a hammer or saw and wreck the frame/tires due to not being able to rob it. Can’t have nice things
Living in Chile where these come from, can confirm the wheels are just as hard to rob as the frame, they are always the only ones still complete after a Saturday night. Doesn’t stop the thieves pissing on the seat unfortunately
If the scumbags can’t steal the bike, they will just slash the tyres.
Is Bike stealing really that common in Dublin City Centre, I mean if it is then that doesn’t surprise me but I haven’t seen it occur whenever I go up there and of course I don’t live there so I wouldn’t know from any sort of personal experience.
Id say I’d could force that open handily enough
Who steals bikes in Dublin?
In my experience if they can’t get the bike free, they usually buckle the wheels the c*nts… I’d never leave my bike out in the wild in Dublin, unfortunately it’s asking for it to robbed HOWEVER there’s a car park on Marlborough Street that provide free indoor bike parking, fenced off and all the shite. Used it a fews times now, no complaints 👌
A way will be found
Amazing.
According to a recent post, Dublin is great and very safe. What a load of s***e😂 Cork and Dublin are both awful these days. I find Ireland fairly grim in general at the mo unfortunately.
There was a dude in Brazil who stole the lamppost to get the bike
If they can’t steal your bike they definitely try and nick your wheels, or bending them..
Doesn’t stop the scumbags from stamping on and destroying the spokes of the wheel though.
Wheels are gonna be gone by the time you are out of centra with your sausage roll
Just stick one of those sentry guns from Aliens in front of it. Running out of ammo is still a risk though.
I’d break that with a karate chop
Bye bye tires
Probably a shitty wafer lock or something that can be raked open easily.
Those wheels are getting stolen
Some much effort
Don’t they just jump on the tires for fun then..
What would Lockpicking lawyer say about this?
I’ve seen lads just damage bikes as much as possible when they figure out it can’t be stolen. Kick the frame, the wheels and slash the seat. If it can’t be stolen, then they vandalise it.
I’m sorry but that’s going to just look like a challenge too good to pass up to the average Dublin bicycle thief, its a way of life in my home town I’m afraid.

Who needs wheels on a bike anyway
Grinder would be through that in 2 seconds.
