Hey guys, I'm pleased to say that I'm now on Kickstarter :)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1255965155/the-hench-bicycle-lock-see-video

What street was it? It looks like my road, but the gravel box doesn't match up...

Mapperley Rd and a bit of Elm Bank I think :) Whereabouts are you?

Nice work

Make the fabric available in one or 2 colours (with your name on it somewhere)

Go with Dench if you can.

Best of luck with the course and also the kickstarter campaign.

Yeah the idea would be to have various different colours as well :)

Thanks a lot

Haha yes Mapperley Park and outside Trent Uni :)

Cheers!

Haha I was going to call it the Dench lock but my lecturer said it wasn't a good name!

Yes I agree that the padlock is the weak point, and like I said, if it goes on sale, more development will see the locking mechanism combined inside the main body :)

Right thanks again everyone, I will come back when I've perfected this thing.

I've put it on Kickstarter now, just waiting for it to be approved :)

Ahh but with a d lock cover, how could you attach it?

If it slides on, what's to stop the thief just sliding it up and attacking the metal underneath?

But there are actually 2 chains in there, which is how it gets its flat shape. So it's 2 cuts with the bolt cutters. And they're small enough chains that you either have to cut both sides of a link at the same time, needing more force, or else only cut one side of the link, moving the cutting point to the very edge of the blade, and again, needing more force.

This all adds to the time and difficulty of getting through it. And the best lock is deterrence.

I agree.

They shouldn't have got Mr. Puniverse to handle the big bolt cutters. The poor bugger looks like he's about to have a hernia!

Keep it to less than a minute, as I lost interest by then.

Seriously, I hope it works for you. Seems neat that the potential thief needs several tools to get through it. ;-)

Haha "Mr Puniverse"?

I am 6'5" and 13 stone, I'm stronger than most short-arses.

But thanks for your words of encouragement lol

I'd avoid letting the ASA or hse see that video...

Why?

I wanted to integrate the locking mechanism into the lock itself, making it faster and easier to lock up. However I didn't have the facilities to create something like that at university, so I went for the padlock for now, as I'd rather have a working prototype as I do now, rather than a good idea but nothing to show for it. So at the moment, the padlock is indeed the weak point.

Thanks folks

Yeah, it is a good idea. But what do they use to cut it to size when they're making the jackets?

You can cut it with a blade, however it means you need to use several different tools to break the lock, and even then it's pretty hard!

Thanks again for the feedback everyone.

If anyone's interested, I have now finished my bike lock design and have made a little video of it in this thread:

http://www.lfgss.com/thread127045.html#post4234098

Hey folks, I've recently finished my final year BSc Product Design university project, designing a bike lock, and have put it together in a little video.

Any feedback good or bad would be great.

Thanks!

Citizen Arrest ? ¨
http://www.theguardian.com/law/2011/aug/09/guide-to-citizens-arrest

If that's directed at me mate, then yeah someone would be within their rights to start a citizens arrest, at which point I would have explained that I was not harming their property, and the cameraman would have come over to back me up.

Well I can explain as science was my favourite subject in school for more reasons than just the teacher was fit.

An experiment is designed to provide a 'proof' between competing models or hypotheses.

*if this is an 'experiment' what is your hypothesis and what have you proven, whats your control?

Full disclosure I failed GCSE science after a dispute with my bitch science teacher over which paper I should sit even tho mock results proved the hypothesis that I was on it.

Out of respect for science I no showed rather than take a GCSE for dummies test.

^^ get a room you two

Unlucky, I got three As at GCSE science :P

Hypothesis: That a large majority of people who see a potential bike theft will not get involved.

I have proven that this is the case.

I can't really imagine a way in which you could have a control on this test tbh, except standing there and not sawing anything.

@Fefelarue. You've not really answered my question. Why not do it with your own bike?
Using people's property as a prop for your video without asking for permission is rude at best.

The last one was with my bike.

The other ones I did purely because they were there and I didn't want to keep moving my bike around.

Also, I didnt want anyone to see me locking up the bike and then sawing it as it would have ruined the experiment.

I guess I'm rude then..

Are these the jeans?

I think they might be man, though clearly that dude has a better arse than me..

Yeah i dont really understand your definition of experiment tommy..

Isn't this behaviour the expected pattern from humans when placed in a heavily populated urban area?

Where you expecting a different out come due to some kind of fraternity within the cycling community?

I'd just probably call it anything else other than an 'experiment' if your data isn't empirical.

Yes it is expected, and this video has proven that. Or at least that there's room for more investigation.

Not sure what you mean by your second sentence? What outcome might I expect?

It's definitely an experiment: I'm doing something, observing the outcome, and analysing the results.

empirical
ɛmˈpɪrɪk(ə)l,ɪm-/Submit
adjective
1.
based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic.

-How much more empirical could I get?
