    No, we're obssessed with saving our sheep from the invading sheep shaggers.

              I would like some suggestions for a new push bike. My last one was a Huffy from KMart that was stolen. All I want it a simple reliable 10 speed mountain bike. I don’t need disk brakes or suspension and I’m happy to assemble it myself if needs be. When I lived in Amsterdam my bike had a wheel lock for the back wheel. You pressed a lever and a bar went through the wheel to stop it turning. Anyone know what they are called and if they are available in Australia or on the internet?

              I remember those :) But I doubt one size fits all.. so not sure if you can buy them as addons.

                You mean like something like this lock[^]? The manufacturer[^] calls this type a "ring lock".

                  Hi Josh, My bro thinks I'm nuts - it's simply called a "bike lock". Anyway... :) after some Googling it seems it's called an "O-lock"[^]: Also called an O-lock, this is a mechanism mounted on the frame that immobilises the rear wheel by moving a steel bolt through the spokes to prevent motion. It uses a straight or circular bolt which extends from the housing. This type of lock, found particularly on bicycles in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and China, prevents riding the bicycle but does not secure the bicycle to a stationary object. HTH to narrow your search down a little!

                      Hmm... locks... I worked in Da City for awhile, I came up out of the hole at Madison in front of the Mitsi building. There was a bicycle frame attached to a lamp post via a kryptonite lock. Just the frame, no wheels tires, crank ball bearing raceways, nothing but the frame... That afternoon I returned to the 'hole' to journey out of Da City and it was gone. Moral to the story: Locks are to keep honest people honest and lazy thieves from getting it. Nothing will stop a determined thief (except for the law, crowbar, 357 magnum, etc...) Regards,
