Remember the way to protect your bike?
Use a good quality, small U-lock that’s very difficult to attack by jacking. Just like this, that I saw in Ashington yesterday:

Bicycle Fan Fiction - Yehuda Moon
Rick Smith, creator of Yehuda Moon & The Kickstand Cyclery is away for a month or so, re-charging his creative batteries. The trouble is, I’m missing my daily dose of bike shop comic strip - so much so, that I’ve had a go at a strip of my own (click to enlarge):

Fixed-Wheel Hill Training

Bike Racks - Am I Missing The Point?
They’re somewhere to park and lock your bike, aren’t they?
You can buy them pretty much off the shelf from a bunch of companies that bang them out by the thousand to a range of standard designs.
And when things are produced in volumes like that, they tend to be pretty inexpensive. Trust me, I know...

Sheldon Brown Locking Method
So here’s how I generally lock my Sturdy Commuting Bike (click to enlarge):
Essentially, this is Sheldon Brown’s method, using a D-Lock (or, if you like, U-Lock) to secure the rear wheel of the bike to a good sturdy, immovable object. Said

Masterlock Python - Vulnerablity Warning!
So over at the HiR Information Report, my attention was drawn to a post by AxOn, which has what looks like a step-by-step guide on how to get around Masterlock’s Python.
Basically, he shows that with a strip of alumunium cut from a drinks can,
