    Yeah, it's the same trick as the one with the BIC pens and the Kryptonite locks.

          Elaboration on the Bic/Kryptonite thing?

          I'm the least you could do
          If only life were as easy as you
          I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
          If only life were as easy as you
          I would still get screwed

            You can take a bic disposable pen, pop the end off, stick it into a kryptonite lock, wiggle a bit (might take some minutes to the untrained), and open it - basically the same as this one, and the stunt that inspired this guy. This works with many locks with cylindrical keys. Do a forum search, it should turn somethng up. Google should also know about it

                  Of course they know (at least now they do), they'd rather have you now know, though

                    For those who haven't seen it, here's the video for the Bic/Kryoptonite thing:



                    Kryptonite is facing class action, and will (more or less) cheerfully replace your cylinder-style lock with a regular keyed lock. LOL. See their website (www.kryoptonite.com) for details.

                      I remember we could easily break into cylindrical tumbler locks when I was a kid. These bike locks had (maybe still do) four cylindrical tumblers that had numerals engraved on the outer perimeter. The user would line up the combination with a marker and unlock the chain lock. They were easy to break into by simply pulling the locking shaft away from the tumblers and feeling for the indents as the tumblers rolled into place. This lock was very popular when I was young (30-40 years ago). I wouldn't be surprised if these chain locks were still being sold.

                        Absolutely they are still being sold.

                        However, they've made them resistant (to an extent) to that particular trick... which I've also exploited a time or two.

                          Such useless locks.

                          Then you've got those idiots who would chain their bike to a five foot pole, which one can easily lift the bike up through.

                          ... or you've got those ten pound steel chain locks to go on your high performance light-weight bike.

                            Hey, it still helps. Those chains are usually carried by the rider, not directly on the bike. I weigh 225, but I can really feel a difference in the ride if I take my 5lb lock off the bike and put it in my Camelbak.
