Ridiculously dangerous, and equally awesome idea. Bun! |
|
|
There may be no reason for a thief to cut the lock, but there's every reason for a vandal to do it. |

It'll hurt people without discretion. What if it's on the bike while you get into an accident? While you could have survived with a broken leg, now you'll have to amputate it. (I don't care about the person's car, but it'll hurt the most the one who's not surrounded by a cage of steel.) |

Great, now I have no bike OR lock. But I do have this cool puddle of molten metal! And burning rubber. |
|
|
At what temperature does the average bike frame melt? I'm thinking it's probably pretty high. |
|
|
Could this idea be applied to handcuffs, to dissuade a
felon from escaping and then trying to cut themselves
free? |
|
|
Aluminum frame, mercury in lock cable, and a warning sign? |

Plastic, aluminium, steel, stainless steel, titanium, or
carbon? Low, low, high, high, high, burns (I think). |
