What are they doing?

No idea, but it looks cool

I agree, their asian dedication is mesmorizing, I just can't figure out what they're doing!

They're level Asian at it.....

Orbert · « **Reply #426 on:** April 01, 2013, 08:06:31 AM »

Asians do not need a reason to do something other than "because it looks cool" or "because it is cool to do". Basically, variations on "because we can".

That is pretty cool indeed

I will never understand why bicycles by default have the "quick steal" release on the front wheel.

Orbert · « **Reply #445 on:** April 09, 2013, 10:04:11 AM »

Supposedly, "serious bikers" want to be able to remove the front wheel quickly so that they can... um, I forget. But I think there was actually a reason.

I've seen front wheels securely locked to bike racks, without the rest of the bike, more than once.

lonestar · « **Reply #446 on:** April 09, 2013, 11:40:49 AM »

You kinda have to be multiple shades of dumbass not to secure it properly though.

rumborak · « **Reply #447 on:** April 09, 2013, 11:51:05 AM »

I don't see how it is dumbass to secure it like in that GIF. It's the only way of going about it with that rack design, which also happens to be the most common.

@Orbert, the reason supposedly is so you can quickly throw your bike in the trunk. While that is a perfectly valid reason for a racing bike, I just don't understand how this is relevant for a commuting bike.

You can (should) either get a longer chain and run it through the frame, or have a second lock and lock the wheel to the frame.

Unless they're massive, chains aren't secure at all. My last bike was stolen with a chain, and the guys at the bike store just shrugged their shoulders and said "yeah, well, chain...". U-Locks are the only secure thing, and I certainly wouldn't want more than one on my bike.

But, back to teh funniez.

If you have the quick release front wheel, you unhook it and lock that along with the back wheel in the style of the gif. Anyone who wants to steal the bike now has to completely remove the gear system, which is a major deterrent.

And that's assuming the only racks available are the kind that are shown there. In Santa Barbara at least, most of the racks are sized to lock directly to the frame, so having a front wheel like that allows you to lock the frame and front wheel to the rack with a U lock very easily.
