There is one little problem with this idea. Who wants to ride an ugly bike like that around? I would want someone to steal that thing. What does you car look like?

That's kind of the point, the idea is that the bike is so ugly and unique that no thief would want to steal it as no-one will buy it off them afterwards. At the end of the day, a bike is a practical item, it doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it gets you from A to B as fast as possible.
A lock isn't foolproof, if someone's determined enough to steal a bike, they'll cut the lock with bolt cutter and take it.
