replacement lock?

So, of course, today's paper had a story in it about the "U" lock problem
and what should people do to protect their bikes. The reporter asked a cop
what he thought and he said, "We lock ours up with handcuffs and haven't
lost one yet!"


Should we all go down to the cop store and buy handcuffs? I know where there
is such a store in town (it sells police/fire/ security guard uniforms and
accessories as well).

Maybe multiple handcuffs--one for the frame and one for the wheels as a
start.

You know, that's not a bad idea. Are they heavy or light?

Handcuffs use a universal key though not quite as universal as a Bic
pen.

Master makes "Street Cuffs" for locking bicycles. They're heavier than
handcuffs. I don't know if they use a circular or flat key.
