Nope, you can pop the end right off those in a couple of seconds. I’ve done it.

Take a look at these guys, $200 for a lock that will hold up to the stress test. Can be bought in SF too: http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/06/tigr-bike-lock/

I love that bar. Everyone there is really really nice. There is one lady who is a bit gruff, but when you get to know her she’s nice too. Caroline is just a doll. Favorite place to watch sports, and the owner is hilarious. They have a great community of regulars too. Man, now I wanna go to the phone booth!!

I let the air out of both tires at every place I stop.

Me, I lock up my bike with a poisonous snake and two snapping turtles.

This lock seems promising, made out of titanium. But it costs $165 minimum. Cheaper than a new bike, though.

Fuck locks. Put a bird on it. Works for us,but really,we all need to keep a eye out for each other and start some valet bike services in mission. If laconda can have valet,why not for bikes?

oh man that’s my locking system set up… no wonder I constantly worry about my bike regardless, after all I’ve gotten two bikes stolen so far, like when the thiefs figure out how to open U-locks with a pen…

This is why my bike, which I use pretty much every day, is a piece of shit mountain bike. The thieves can have it they want it. They don’t want it.

The better solution would be to not go to Phone Booth. The bartenders are pissy fuckers who roll their eyes if you ask for something more complicated than a PBR.

I am pretty sure this specific lock has insurance on it, meaning if its defeated/cut they will pay you.
This one has a Bike Protection Offer: $ 1501
