OK, so what do you do when you then need your handcuffs for, say, cuffing hands? Do you carry two pairs?

One problem with using handcuffs for a bike lock is that almost all handcuffs use the same key. Anyone with a handcuff key could unlock your bike and ride off with it, and your handcuffs. Of course it takes a special kind of idiot to even think about stealing a bike marked "POLICE" so I don't think they have to worry too much about it.

Handcuffs are much easier to pick than bicycle locks. With no training, anyone could figure it out in five minutes. With training, it's as easy as using a key.
Does it take a special kind of idiot to steal a police bike or a special type of badass?
