| Re: Important Omission on Folding Bikes
Sometime last year I acquired the Master (?) "handcuff" lock. Would
drive towards downtown Detroit, park on the street for free, unload my
Hon (purchased in 1985 before the office supply mfgr filed suit and
made them change the name; "you're confusing the marketplace for our
file cabinets with your little folding bikes!"), ride to work, lock it
to a parking meter with the cuffs.
That all ended when I went to a medical appointment right across the
street from a much-heralded new performance center. Left bike in my
van, returned to find the window smashed, bike and handcuff lock
stolen. (They found the spare keys, but didn;t take them, What good is
a lock without keys? Thieves are stupid, as others have noted.)
No complaints about the handcuff lock. No one ever messed with my bike
and it was there every day. The one day I brought my Montague folding
bike, it got stripped before lunchtime.
