Rendered unusable

Rendered unusable

Failed bike-jack attempt. Bike is safe, but the lock had to be replaced.

The owner of this lock used it to secure his bike to a rack in his backyard. A thief tried to leverage it open, but did not succeed. The thief did manage to bend the shackle to the point that opening it was extremely difficult, so the owner came to the shop to pick up a replacement.

I'm seeing this sort of thing more and more frequently. Bike thieves are getting wiser...and more daring.

The locked bike was a beat-up SS steel MTB with lots of miles and no high-end parts. The lock is a Kryptonite Kryptolok Series 2 Standard.

A guy walks into a bike shop and says, "have I got something to show you..."

There is no punchline.

Schwalbe 29 X 2.35 Big Apple Tires on Trek Sawyer

Schwalbe 29 X 2.35 Big Apple Tires on Trek Sawyer

The owner was commuting on the stock knobbies. He'll be going much faster now. This bike is fun.

I can't justify getting one of these sweet 29ers for myself. I don't have the need, funds, or room...but I really, really want one.
