The padlock through the chain-ring thing is what we used to do at school in the 70s before leaving our bikes in the bikesheds (UK.)🇬🇧 If you wanted to travel light, it was easier than carrying a whole padlock and chain, and most of our bikes weren't worth stealing anyway; we used to build them ourselves from odds-and-sods we found at the dump or in the shed, and we used to refer to them as ASPs which was "All Spare Parts".
Good to see another bike hunter vid, good one! I've never seen a padlock through chain/chain ring before! I'd still want more security as it still could be placed in a van etc!😮 Enjoying your hunt
Yeah I liked that a lot! If someone picks it up and walks away with it they really want it :) I’m enjoying looking at what people are riding in different cities, it’s varied so much from place to place
@@hobocyclist the best is mid drive because front drive doesn't have so much traction and rear drive pulls too much current up hills. just recently I went emountain biking with my uncle - massive 29 inch wheels dual suspension, etc. He stopped doing motorcross and is happy with emountain biking now. more expensive than a cheap car but pretty fun, almost tempted!
Mi bici perfecta es una "single speed 28' cuadro de acero"....simplicidad y minimalísmo. Se complica en las colinas, en configuración bikepacking, pero es una buena escusa para estirar las piernas!!!! Saludos desde Mar Del Plata, Argentina!!!!

The padlock on the chainring is a clever idea

The thumbnail goes hard
Wow so many bikes in NZ! Just meed more folding ones 😂
love the chainring padlock bike! do they have a youchube channel?
think that white city bike is actually a front wheel drive ebike
I have seen front wheel drive conversion kits for sale for 20" bikes, looks like fun

I don't have room for an emountain bike anyway.... maybe ebmx?
@@dominictarrsailing I’d like to try building an ebike out of a cheap power drill, wonder if that would work?
@@hobocyclist great idea! often see those at the dumpshop. the battery will be the tricky part

I want to advocate for using the word Bicycle and not Bike. Motorcycles are also called bikes.
