do you use a U lock with a cylindrical key? F.

Damn, that is some seriously uncool randomness.

I KNOW
AGH
So just recently I bought an all-weather padlock for locking the bike rack to the car. Now Helen's bike is in the garage with THAT on the chain, and MY bike is in the CLOSET.
DAMN
IT

CRAP. TWO YEARS ago (dammit!) I bought my Kryptonite Evolution 2000 being told it was the BEST thief-thwarting device available. sobsssssss. So NOW what? (wracking sobs and a migraine afterwards) Please update me re this disturbing turn of eventage? Like what you and Helen end up doing? (please let this be some hoax/alarmist thing?) God, do I just dump all the furniture and ride my bike in the house?

Looks like it's the real thing. I've seen U locks with bic pens sticking out of them before. Years ago. Now I know why. What do we do? Well.. email kryptonite's complaint department, for one. Next step: get a lock that doesn't use a radial design lock.

Gahhhhh. We may be looking for new locks tomorrow.

Did I mention that both Helen and I have the same lock? The Evolution 2000, just like you. Yeah. Along with half the cycling community here. Suggestions I've seen range from the unhelpful ("thieves can get into any lock anyway, so don't worry!") to the obvious ("get a different lock"). Some folks are waiting to see if Kryptonite offers to give us some money back/upgrade to their flat key lock for cheap/kiss our sore butts.

Fonto? I bet he'll go "aaaagh" just like the rest of us.
