As strong as Kryptonite

Turns out the Kryptonite bike lock is not as bomb-proof as it seems... KOMO TV has the story: bq. You don't have to be the Man of Steel to open a Kryptonite bike lock. bq. Faster than a speeding bullet, word is spreading across the Internet, through cyclist hangouts and into bike shops that all it takes to open a circular-key lock, like the one on the famous U-shaped Kryptonite-brand lock, is a ballpoint pen. Can you say "product redesign"? It will be interesting to see if the company offers a deal on upgrades, these locks are not cheap (I use one). Posted by DaveH at September 17, 2004 12:11 PM
