I never thought lock-picking was the weakness of bike locks.

Who “picks” a bike lock?

If I could pick locks, I wouldn’t be stealing bicycles...

Did you hear about the ship that was unsinkable?

I don’t know. I guess in China it’s more of a thing.

I remember going to the hardware store to buy a piece of chain for securing my motorcycle. I got the biggest chain they had (and also the biggest padlock they had).

We measured out 6 feet or so and the clerk got his bolt cutters and whacked it in two. Well, I used the chain anyway.

You need better chain. I remember in the Navy we had to cut a chain and I had the bright idea to use a pair of bolt cutters. The chain was so hard that it put dents in the bolt cutters.

It is. My bike was stolen in China (and I was told it would be, numerous times, because it looked too new and nice). I got it at the local Carrefour (french-owned grocery chain) for $40. Not sure what kind of an investment a $140 lock is for a $40 bike.

There is NOTHING IN THIS LIFE better than a Free Republic thread about guns or tools.
