Thank you so much :beer:

You might want to get this for your new lock.

Haha, another good one that would be bad for commuters habitually locking in the same spot. Not to mention, a pipe cutter is also easy to conceal in a jacket, and is nice and silent -

Yup... love my Brompton :love:

Looks more like hazing the new guy on his first day at work :D

That looks nice, but the LBS advised me against mounting a lock (or even a pannier!) due to the pressure or twisting it might exert on the frame while riding (or something like that). I'm sure that sounds worse than it is, but I'll see what they say.

Thanks again Colonel.

Thanks again Colonel.

It is a handlebar mount. :p

It may be cheaper to buy an old singlespeed ugly commuter bike than to purchase a couple of expe$ive locks . . .
