Very clever idea... That said, I think I'd be afraid the "Skunk Lock" would skunk up my bike if the lock was cut. :-(

I suppose that might happen, but I'd rather thoroughly scrub down my bike than not have a bike to thoroughly scrub!

So when somebody locks their wheel without security skewers and someone takes off with the bike the lock is left with the wheel attached......

I would be very skeptical about that not leaving you open to a lawsuit...

The company says they have verified it's legal everywhere they intend to sell the lock.
I sent them a note asking about performance in temperature extremes, especially of the seals, but of the chemicals as well. No word back yet.
