I had a visit to Northampton today and noticed these strange unconventional "mangled" cycle lockup hoops

Looks like it keeps the bike upright while you lock it up, not a bad design on the evidence of the photo.

Looks rather easy to accidentally not actually lock your bike up - but not inherently stupid - assuming there is enough separation to allow for anything other than a solo racing bike without a rack...

Clearly didn't want to be known for having "Sheffield" stands, so came up with their own design. Should work just as well though.

"Northampton" stands

I always try to secure front and back wheels, these stands are not so good

Had a front wheel stolen once

No, they're just shortened "Austrian Doubles". You can only lock the other wheel to the frame, unlike on full-size ADs.
