Probably not deliberately. But you’d be shocked by the number of calls I get from students who have lost their key, or left the bike/lock out in the weather so long that the key broke off in the lock when they finally went to use it. and those are just the people who bother to call us… chuck

What if you need to cut the lock on your own bike? I have done that occasionally when the locking mechanism is hopelessly jammed or frozen? My locks are cables -- my bike isn't expensive enough to require a full-fledged U-lock, but I could imagine being in the same predicament with a U-lock. What if some idiot locks his bike to your bike and never returns? What would the city do when they need to remove abandoned bikes from public racks? We could end up with a bunch of smelly, nauseated Streets employees. ________________________________ From: "bikies" <bikies@lists.danenet.org<mailto:bikies@lists.danenet.org>> To: "bikies" <bik...@danenet.org<mailto:bik...@danenet.org>> Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2016 11:19:22 PM Subject: [Bikies] SkunkLock https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/oct/21/bike-lock-developed-that-makes-thieves-immediately-vomit -- S.
