To correct Sheldon (so rarely possible), freaking NO bike shops stock Kryptonite's good locks. I'd have one already if every store around here didn't just carry whatever crap OnGuard makes along with the el cheapo Kryptonites. For supposedly having such good locks, Kryptonite's distribution network kind of sucks.
