Vancouver, BC: 4 Chevron stations shut down using bike locks. #EvictChevron
The morning of August 21st 2014 we took action to shut down 4 Chevron stations including 80 individual gas and diesel pumps in Vancouver. More will follow if Chevron continues to push through the Pacific Trails Pipeline without the consent of the Unist’ot’en people.

Huh… Kudos for the effort, though these bike locks (assuming they’re ths cyclindrical key design) are the easiest to lockpick. Even the ones with regular keys are an easy job, and the cops or Chevron employees obviously have the tools to quickly cut them. A small angle grinder can do the job in a few secs.
Pro-tips: saltwater and/or expanding foam and/or epoxy. Saltwater’s my favorite, because it’s insidiously efficient…
