Well at least they know something that's actually viable.

Me and my bikes (cinelli/bianchi caliber) stand by my kryptonite locks. I have used kryptonite locks since I began riding; I currently have 2 mini's and 1 mini LS in service; none have failed me yet.

Not sure about bulldog locks as I'm not a owner but from handling my friend's bulldog's they feel cheaper than krytonites; which is a given tho considering the price you can get one at....

In my opinion a true hipster lock would be those premium $50+ palmy aluminium locks; which offer around the same protection as a cable lock.... for the price of a proper kryptonite u lock.
