bike lock :- (

It's not a circular lock - it's pins and a big bolt on a length of wire. It's a 'centreparcs' brand, and I'd hope it was an easy pick as they give these things away when you hire a bike for £1. Since centreparcs like to keep costs low and profits high, this can't be a particularly good quality bike lock!

(centreparcs is a holiday resort btw, not a locksmithing operation for you USA ppl!)

I lost my keys a few days ago, so I guess it's a good starter lock - if I muck it up, no problems. I can take a photo if you like, but it's not especially interesting...

hehe, got tired picking it with my small diamond so I got out the rake

My heart skipped a beat when I heard the click - I thought I'd snapped my tension wrench!

I can do it in a second now I know how much tension to put in - I can't believe how easy it was once I got it right! :shock:

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

It was only because no-one was quick enough between post and pick-sucess that I had to reply to myself :roll:

Palms will never sport hair, nor will they scar.

That is the dumbest off-topic I ever heard.

My suprise was because typicaly the saying is if you have hairy palms, you have become a little too curious about your body, if you get what im saying.
