Looking for specific secure bicycle parking rack.
I recall using a bike rack where you rolled you bike in and a swing arm
mechanism with three steel bars went through the front wheel, the frame, and the rear wheel, then you used a padlock then went into circular steel cage that made it impossible to get a cutting tool to the padlock. Kind of similar to this https://bikeep.com/smart-commercial-bike-rack/, but less high tech, and both wheels are locked. I can't find these anywhere, but I want to have my city buy something like that. It would be an alternative to bicycle lockers in an area with high theft. It may be that the racks I saw were fabricated by a city themselves and they don't actually exist for sale. They were extremely heavy and they took a lot of space because the swing arm needed space to swing away from the bike. |

The last photo of the grenade reminds me; we used to have a grenade to play with when we were kids. It was the pineapple style and was either a practice one or a disarmed real one. Don't know where it ended up. In today's California, I would not doubt that even having an old fake one is illegal. We specialize in restrictions on people around here it seems.

What about the racks that the bikeshare companies use? They should by now be common enough that the unit costs are benefiting from scale of production.. The ones I saw in Cork were sophisticated enough to work with an app so that you could pay by credit card but didn't, as far as I remember, have any expensive swinging arm locks. Andre Jute I use an n'lock which disables the bike by unlocking the handlebars from the steerer tube... |

Nice link! pH in Aptos On Sale! $9.76 at https://www.armysurplusworld.com/cam...dummy-grenades Yet another site that refers to "tactical" stuff, in this case it was clothing :-) Given that "tactics" simply means a plan for attaining a particular goal, one can only gaze with amazement at all the "tactical" stuff offered for sale, in this case clothing. I wonder, would a pair of tactical trousers be a term for something you could use to cover your arse? In that case would a "tactical tutu" be an appropriate term? -- cheers, John B. |
