Now I have to carry 2 of the In Lock Kits, plus a 3 foot long eye bolt, which probably isn't that easy to find, as well as a padlock. That's a bit much.

If your bike is harder to steal than the next one, there's a fighting chance that it will still be there when you get back to your tent. I'd agree - any bike thief with a spade could probably have this out of the ground in less than five minutes, but equally any bike thief with a pair of bolt cutters could have most of the bikes chained up in my town centre.

Besides, can you imagine what would happen if everyone started using these things at outdoor events? The areas would get torn up. I usually don’t have problems finding a tree or bench.

This is an idiotic design. "Oh, you can't spin it by hand, though." But I can bring a screwdriver... Back to the drawing board. If the idea was "set these in a concrete block, to provide a locking point", perhaps that would work.

Use a shovel or just spin the bike on it's back wheel. bikes aren't 400 lbs. They're more like 30 lbs. The chain would actually help you unscrew the stake. This is simply asinine. Are you kidding me?
