Folk's I've been reading some of the story here about special
bike locks that can be picked with a bic pen. I can't help
but wonder whatever happened to using a simple pad lock &
chain set up. Now don't get offended by what I say but why
in the world does one NEED a special lock in the first place?

If a thief wants your bike (or anything else you own for that
matter) he's going to,in time, get it. Locks only keep honest
people out. What give's here????
