Do you think it’ll take off?

No.

Clever, but someone would nick the wheels.

Can’t be nicked, but you may return to a mangled mess of tubes attached to an immovable object.

Oh….

^^^^^

😆

A well know store has been making bikes that no one in their right mind would want to filch for many years now.

Yep, wheels are still vulnerable there. Although you could use one of those Pinhead bolts, I’ve been using one on my front wheel for over a year now and it’s still there (I live in London but never leave it outside overnight)

PS the back wheel gets locked with the frame

Do you think it’ll take off?

Is it on a conveyor belt?

Wasn’t this the idea behind Slingshot Bikes as well?

Surely in the city it’s just easier to get something which isn’t too expensive with bolted wheels/seat clamp rather than QR with a decent lock. I used to commute on the Raleigh my parents bought me when I was 12. Emotionally I’d have been quite upset to lose it but in terms of that or my “good” bikes, I’d have happily given it up.

Really neat idea. Saves carrying a lock for around town.
Obviously won’t stop a determined tealeaf but nice concept.

I’d have them wheels off mind… 😈

*Chops tree down, takes bike*

Think of all the water in the seat tube when it rains.
