Wow, is that a TOY pair of handcuffs? That’s even worse than leaving your bike out without a lock, it’s just BEGGING to be stolen.
Even regulation police handcuffs are really easy to open, provided you know one of the dozens of “tricks”. It’s even easier if they are not behind you and cuffed around your wrists.
Not to mention, a standard-issue regulation police handcuff key will cost you about a buck at any uniform, police supply or “mall ninja” store.
Even if the cuffs were impossible to remove the way they are used makes them useless. The wheel can just be removed and then the bike easily taken.
And it’s locked to the front wheel!
That looks to be a BLATANT photoshop piece. 1/3 of the wheel is completely missing.
Agreed, I was wondering where it (and my handcuffs went)OH, JESUTH CHRITH>>>>
No it isn’t.
Actually, if you were observant, you’d notice that the wheel is between two cement blocks, and there’s a ring embedded in the cement so that you can lock your bike. I’ve seen this setup many times. But hey, nice job on making yourself look like an idiot.
hey numbnuts! it’s in a bike rack!
Open wheel skewer, slide bike fork out of supposed lock, reinstall wheel- and you have a free mountain bike.
Step 1: Use quick release handle
Step 2: Take bike
Step 1: Take bike, because the cheap toy links will give easily.
You could also use just about anything to open the “lock” on those cuffs, or probably kick that hoop off the block it’s loosely attached to pretty quick. Security fail all around.
I just wanted to point out the same. There are people who use better locks than this one and don’t get this.
no no no… ‘kinky’ would have pink fur on the cuffs…
or leopard print fur.
or red boa feathers.
Anybody wants latex?
Ewww, who wants furry handcuffs? You want to feel the metal digging into your wrists or the Police/inmate roleplay isn’t realistic enough!!
And a small lever to unlock them without a key…
Nonono.. Yeah has it right. The quick release wheel hub allows the frame to be removed. The cuffs will slide right off the frame and don’t appear to be attached to the wheel’s spokes. Classic non-biker mistake.
Bikes never get an even brake.
That’s how they park them in front of the Police Station in San-na-tah Annah..
**ching!ching!** Okay, get in the basket!
policeman “where is the bony terrorist i just aprehended!?!?!”
…
Those are the bad kind of cuffs, the good kind are layers of metal, not stamped. They also don’t have the ratchet type most have, instead using a weaker star system.
I thought they were the bad kind of cuffs because they’re a cheap dollar-store piece of crap toy.
The scary thing is, Master Locks actually makes a handcuff-style bike lock! (linky)
Is it just me or is the bike wheel going through concrete? It may just be me,
Yeah, even if it was real handcuffs, they would fail.
Unsrew the wheel, take bike, attatch the wheel and you’re ready to go.
did anyone notice that the bike tire is berried?
Yeah, looks like it’s stuck in a jam.
that might be bad
Way back when I was a boy, my dad used to use a pair of handcuffs – real ones, not toys – to lock his motorcycle. One cuff around a few spokes, the other around the swing arm. Not sure how well they would have held in real life; nobody ever tried to steal his bike.
If you take a closer look the cuffs actually have a safety release!
