1. You meant this as a joke, right ?

[tencats]

4. Yes... but it appears

Its inventor Yannick Read could be serious about it and whats up with kickstarter.com allowing it to run?

2. "as well as legal"... bullshit

As if some guy in London has researched the fireworks and explosives laws of any and all jurisdictions where he's soliciting funds.

This thing is a liability nightmare.

3. Do you want a visit from homeland security?

This is how you get a visit from homeland security...

5. Nah. Just buy a gun.

[Glassunion]

6. You can secure your bike without explosives... A good quality lock

in sufficient quantities will protect your property.

7. Getting your bike out of that tangle...

...is where the explosives come in.

[Glassunion]

9. I never lock my bike.

Just plant a few of these around it...

[gratuitous]

8. Just a couple more locks, and that bike would be safe in Portland

I'm constantly amazed at the high quality, new bikes I see being squired around town by thieves. (Lots of low-end badly used bikes, too.) Bikes that had to cost upwards of $3,000, apparently just left on the porch or around back of the house, ripe for the picking. And picked they are.
