Idea for old KRYPTO locks!
Everyone decided on a spot in your city and lock your old lock to it. Be sure to glue the hole shut so no one comes and steels it with a pen!

This is an amazing idea, especially, since Kryptonite just wants the keys. The old lock is yours to keep and bic it on to anything you want.
Where will the D.C. location be? I would recommend the White House fence, but that would go over like a Pinarello locked with an evolution 2000.

This is a great idea. I think the place should definately be meaningful politically. We should lock up downtown parking facilities in some manner, or create a chain across the busiest intersection in your area...

Man, there is this one a-hole who ALWAYS parks his bike the wrong way across the bike rack at the train station (parallel to the rack instead of perpendicular) thus taking up the majority of the rack... I would love to put an old funky lock on this persons bike... g-dammn MTB'er. This has seriously been driving me nuts, as I have occasionally been left with no rack space because this bike takes up 4-5 possible bike spots. It's either that or just leave a nasty note on the bike.

This whole Krypto ordeal has made the headlines in the news. Just turned on my computer and it was one of the top stories for the day. Said that Krypto was working on a new system and that some of the people would be refunded(depending on when you bought your lock).
