Thank you.
Picking locks isn't easy, it's a skill that takes a lot of time to develop, and picking the sorts of locks used in most modern bike locks is really difficult. I'm pretty decent with a pin tumbler lock, a useful skill to have if you are perpetually loosing your keys, and I'm absolutely flummoxed by the disc tumbler locks most manufacturers use.
The only type of key I would avoid is the tubular pin tumbler lock that kryptonite used to use. The one that could be easily opened with a bic pen.
