This was posted on the Fixed Gear List...a solution to all the NYC folk.

Today we picked all of the Kryptonite u-locks with round keys using the BIC
pen approach. (Ouch) The NBA and EGH series keys (circa before 08/2002) are
okay. After this date I believe K went to China for the lock mechanism.
Keys numbers beginning with "KK" are definitely vulnerable.

Bicycle Habitat has purchased a bunch of American Padlocks (the kind we us
on our gates) and is making the following special offers to owners of the
NY chain:

Trade in your ev disc lock and we will sell you an American Padlock for
$15.00 or trade in your NY Chain and lock and we will sell you a Master
Lock system for 50.00 This uses a six sided chain like the one on the
Kryptonite forgetaboutit lock, and a shielded padlock. Or trade in your NY
chain and disc lock and we will sell you a NY forgetaboutit 3" chain and
lock for 75.00. Didn't buy your lock at Habitat - Don't worry about we
will still trade!

Feel free to forward this email we need to keep our bikes safe.
