- Well isn't that what a good strong cable lock was made for? :)
-
- And speaking of which, don't get a lock called "The Recoiler". It sucks.
- I used mine like twice before it got tangled up inside itself and I could
- never get it to work again. No abuse, just what I thought was normal usage.
- Spend the few extra $$ on a decent one you can
- get on at any hardware or bike store, its definitely worth it.
