It took me 15 minutes to find a way to even get my u-lock around a part of the frame. For the front wheel, I just have rely on luck. There are instructions on it, but it’s clearly meant for one geometry only and, according to those instructions, only a padlock should be used.

      Wait, are we sure this is a bike rack and not just the leftover mounting structure for an ATM or something?

    2. I think the idea is you lock your pedal to it with a padlock. But they’ve not lines it up.

    3. Ugh, everyone seems to either *overthink* or *underthink* bike racks when they’re installing them

    4. Super random but your bike looks so much like mine but I have yellow instead of orange! And yours looks like a re sprayed 26 mtb but mine is a newer 700c, either way, I love it !

    5. I also absolutely love that you’ve used a Brompton saddle haha! I find them incredibly comfortable also and not a bad price especially second hand

    6. this looks like something that fits a specific bike really well. But all others can go f themselves.

    7. Honestly I don’t mind it. Looks like it might make stealing the front wheel more pain than it’s worth if you secure the back properly

    8. it seems pretty fucking good to me, you can even actually lock your bike here. The ones we have where I live, I can’t lock my bike using the frame at all so I have to…improvise.
