What's your fav kind of bike rack? steel hoop, lamp post,

>>1051673
Horseshoe shaped ones

>>1051691
Second this. They are pure gold.

I like wave racks, like a wide version of the horseshoe. But I hate when they are installed a foot from a wall so you can't use them properly.

>>1051673
The one on your picture works wonders for me, I lock the frame, front wheel, seat and helmet without disassembling my bike and just using a regular u-lock.

>>1051728
>front wheel and seat with a u-lock
Boy that must be one long ass u-lock

the best there is

>>1051738
Any rack that you can't use to lock up two different points on the frame with u-locks is garbage.

>>1051738
I hate these motherfuckers, you're forced to lock your bike through the chainstay and people keep banging against your derailleur

>>1051738
They don't refer to those as wheel benders for nothing. Also spaced too far apart for road / hybrid, and too close together for chubbier wheels.

>>1051738
WELL DONE, YES YES DRACO, THAT IS PRETTY SHITTY, BUT CHECK OUT PIC RELATED...THE WORST BIKE RACK EVER DESIGNED.

These are so poorly designed and they are never bolted to the ground or even anchored to something.

Here's a good design. Relatively compact and allows for u-locks at 2 points.

A similar design.

Still solid but I'd rank this slightly lower than the other 2.

Looks like a similar concept to the wave mentioned earlier

although neither of them are as efficient spacewise as hoops

>>1051778
It's better than the wave because it's diagonally offset, allowing for easier use and two attachment points on the bike without blocking other slots.

Why would you ever lock your bike to something round? And why in the name of fuck would you not at least make every section independent so Tyrone will have to cut more than once?
No. Not good design! Stupid, stupid anon!

>>1051775
>bring socket wrench
>unscrew from ground
>doesnt even have to cut
Tyrone approves.

>>1051673
>bike rack
If I should be so lucky, the nearest we get to a bike rack round here is this bullshit everywhere.
>>1051738


Unusually find a lamp post or a good sturdy set of stair railings.

>>1051811
Most of the ones I've seen are cemented into the ground. I wouldn't use one that wasn't.

>>1051809
I usually run my ulock through the frame, rear wheel and bike rack with a lasso around the front wheel. So if someone were to cut the rack they'd be carrying the bike, not riding it.

>>1051814
>Most of the ones I've seen are cemented into the ground.
Look at the two squiggly ones you posted. Look harder. At the base.
>So if someone were to cut the rack they'd be carrying the bike, not riding it.
I guess you live somewhere people don't regularly load a truckbed full of all the bikes in a rack, huh? That's a thing here. Eeeeerry summer.
Straight to RORO ferry and sell to fences within hours of raid. Rinse and repeat.

>>1051778
dat 90s rigid MTB

>>1051769
I've heard stories where bike thieves just steal the entire rack loaded with bikes onto a truck.

I will never trust my bike to a rack that isn't anchored into concrete.

>>1051732
It's 10"

The one that's inside

Fuck bike racks, they only exist so that idiots who are afraid of bikes can point to them and go "see? it goes there!"

A metal post

>>1052114
Bad idea, someone could just lift that bike out of there without even having to bust the u-lock.

>>1052136
Medium quality bait.

My favorite kind of lock is the free-standing horseshoe - they're not space efficient at all and can only accept two bikes, but they provide optimal locking convenience and minimize the chances of anybody bumping your bike and causing damage.

>>1051764
>>that guy who just locks his bike across the whole thing
I will admit that I have done this on more than a few occasions, but only because the ends were already taken.

>>1051811
>>1051817
They are explicitly meant to be cemented in. The manufacturer has the guide for doing it on their site.

>>1052100
Why do you dislike bike racks?

>>1052114
That u lock is not going through the frame triangle but around the frame triangle. This is a bad idea.. if a thief really wanted that bike, they could remove the fork and slide the frame through the u lock!

>>1052843
This was bait. Thief can just lift the bike off the post.

>>1051809
Those pipe cutters are for exhaust tubing, and they don't even cut that particularly well. You would be there for days trying to cut thru heavy walled tube with that thing

today i saw a wheel locked to the bike rack in front of the metro station, poor fucker
