Crawdaddio doesn't stand to gain anything by his postings here
he works as a locksmith and wants to impress upon people in general that locksmiths are needed. but cyclists generally have no need for the sort of locks he describes and would in fact be wasting money on them, particularly if they use these expensive locks with a cable, as the locksmith fellow has advocated here.
