It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

So the product is the combination of wheel lock and ground anchor. For that anchor you need a private property to attach that into the ground. But if you have a private property, you most likely also have a garage, shed, basement or whatever for your bicycle or motorcycle.

In a city, without a private driveway, you also cannot just put an anchor into public ground.

I don't really understand this product. Where or how could this be used? E.g. are there local laws somewhere allowing to bolt that anchor piece into the public side walk?
