Best use of a U-Lock EVER. UCI students are brilliant.

Quick release front wheel just needs to get undone and this bike can be thrown in to a truck, which there are plenty of in Austin.

u-locks have potential to lock your bike very securely but when you don't lock it to anything with it you may as well just carry a cable and save some weight. to this person's credit - at least the bike can't be ridden off once the cable is cut.

Lock the frame up with a u-lock! A thief would just need a 15mm wrench and could walk off with the entire bike. not rideable because of the rear wheel... it's really sad that this person carries two u

-locks and leaves the bike locked up in this state.

And to celebrate, a peek of the top nine moments that weren’t featured in my IG feed whether too #silly 😜, #embarrassing 😣, #painful 😥, or #whatwasithinking ‍‍😝 — yes, even more so than... well, the rest of my feed

And through the good, the bad, and the ugly, #i💜mybike 🙏

but the frame's kinda free to take

This bike may have never seen the joys of a bath 🛀 and has seen more dings than I would wish for in any bike 😕 particularly the right seat tube 😰 #beausage?

And if the neighboring bike had an overkill ulock, this one only a cable lock??? ❗️ And the helmet in the worst position 🐶

I do admire the use of downtube shifters here in hilly Seattle! Ah, and #Albastache bar 😍 or #moustachebar? 🤔

cable lock is bad. cable lock not around any stationary object is worse. these 2 bikes were attached to each other but no one had the bright idea to loop the signpost into the lock job.

Oh boy. It's an old bike so no-one must have tried to steal it all that much. It's sorta safe since there's a cable lock slung around the frame but that u-lock should really go on the frame somewhere, not just around two spokes. one cable cutter and two cut spokes and this bike is free.

The woman who owns this bike has started to lock it correctly :) It was scary when the nice public bike was locked like this - one cable snip away from being ridden away.

At least a thief can't ride it away. Still.. Trucks aren't that hard to come by.

I wrote her a note and left it on her bike. When I went by again later the cable lock was actually around her frame.

I actually took the bike out and moved it to the other end of the bike rack.
