Handy Tricks 7: Bike Mods and Projects

Step 5 Bike Storage Safe

Bike theft is a real problem in the Boston area. It seems like most of the bike anti-theft inventions come from this part of the country. Here are some funny hinged shells you can lock down over your bike to discourage thieves. They're just outside the Sydney-Pacific dorm at MIT. They're empty, I don't know if that says anything about their effectiveness.

Probably would be more effective if they were actually bolted down. Something about a bike rack that itself can be stolen doesn't incite me to lock my bike to it, lol. Other than that issue, they look like they'd probably work pretty good. And it discourages stripping, too.

my school once had racks rebared into the concrete of the playground,but they removed it since no bikes are allowed and kids jump on it
