i bought my kryptonite 'new york' chain lock yesterday for $100 US. according to the bike shop dude, it will take an angle grinder to cut it off. he also said that this won't stop my bike from getting stolen, but may delay it for a little while. when i asked him, 'would someone really cut a bike chain with an angle grinder in broad daylight?' he said, 'would you say try and stop them?'.. point taken.
for those of you who want a taste of the manhattan cycling experience (and have broadband connections), you should check out this video. it's about 50Mb (streaming), but well worth it, i think. you have to crank the sound up too.. mum, better to give this one a miss, i think....

So funny that your stories are about bike security in your new home... The other blog that I link to, of my mate Shiko, is about this same topic...
bike security is a very important issue the world over :)) i think my new lock is putting my back out. on the other hand, it makes a very stylish fashion accessory. photos to come.
