Spot the basic error here
Just thought i'd put this photo up here - not my bike, someone else's that i spotted at the supermarket.
First one to spot what's wrong with this picture wins something. The helmet debate, maybe. Yes - if you win this you get to decide about helmets - can't say fairer than that.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

Am I the only one to focus on the second lock that is "holding" the seatpost to the frame?
Oh good, that's the helmet debate decided then! Let us never speak of it again.
Too late, some woman called Trott has an opinion on it...
I always wear a helmet.... but tbh I haven't got any hair so I do that more for the camo effect tan I sport on my bonce through the summer.
But yes children you should wear a helmet at all times.
Oh, just realized I could probably have popped the faceplate, no need to undo the top cap - that would make for a much quicker getaway.
Anyway, the real question is - Ronstermonster - do we have to wear helmets now, or not?
No, but if you're planning on riding a bike without a stem faceplate, I'd recommend it.
Flat pedals....oh lord
Wastefully discarded half-smoked doobie.
Proof that Dutch style cycling will never catch on in Britain.
Straight handlebars, mudguards, disc brakes, seat tilted back, pannier thing; no end of issues there.
D lock only on stem.. fairly simple to ride bike away, should you wish to enjoy such a beast.
And the winner is:
Although the rest of you are very inventive / saw things in the picture I didn't realize were there. Everyone's a winner.
I was very tempted to "steal" this bike with my multitool, just to see how quickly i could do it.
(Though I'd probably be slowed up by resetting the headset bearings to my satisfaction, and making sure the stem was midline. In other words I'd make a terrible bike thief!).
It not actually locked to anything?
no proper cycle parking available at location.
