Fifty Plus (50+) - What to do with obsolete cylinder key U lock?

I bought a new U-lock to replace my old bic-pen-compatible, cylindrical key U-lock.

Before I toss the old one in the landfill, thought I'd see if anyone had come up with a good application for it. I guess using it as a secondary lock when weight isn't an issue might work.

Have you lubed it lately? :lol:

Can you at least recycle it as scrap metal?

You could lock someone else's bike to a rack.

Find an old junker bike, use the lock to lock it to a post by the curb, and put a "For Steal" sign on it.

Take it to work, lock it on the bike rack.

Now you can commute to work without carrying a lock.

Perhaps some less fortunate commuter around you needs a lock upgrade.....?
Give it to that person and you'll both feel better.

Give it to a bike messenger that needs a side mirror removal tool.:innocent:
