Somebody has locked my bike with two locks

[mountainbikefan]

I'm very new to these sorts of things.
Don't know how to pick a lock or whatever it's cold.
It could be a friend, because I was angry at one of my friends and some days after I saw my bike, and three locks
My own and two other locks.

This is how they look like

It's a tubular lock I think.

And the other is just normal lock which you put normal key on.


How can I open these? I have no idea how to open, I'm a basically newbie.

Sorry, for double posting, please remove the other post made by me in the Europe locks. Thank you.

I understood which forum to post on. Thanks

I want to drive the bike now

dont mean to burst your bubble, but you will need a bunch of practice to open either one of these, especially the first one.

the second one may not be too bad though. never tried it but i bet you could get it with time

If your a bike thief, you already know how to get throught those, so I'll tell you the quick and dirty, the cable lock is cut with a tin snips or cable cutter. the U lock can be opened with a pen, look for a bic biro or whatever other pens you can find with a plastic that would rather mash than fracture. (some have convenient thin rubberized grips,) push this down on the core of the lock and push in while giveing a little twist, then release and repeat. if that doesn't get it, use an angle grinder. the U lock cad be cut in about an houre with a common carbide type hacksaw blade if you don't know anyone with an angle grinder.

I live in Norway, where can I buy these?

Hardware store?

Hardware store?

I can't find it, is there anyway to import?

You can check online, I'm sure (homedepot.com or any big hardware supplier), but it seems a little silly to buy and ship power tools just to rescue one bike. Maybe you can borrow something.

Maybe you can borrow something.

Yes, like a bike.

I heard that a good way to open a D lock is to get a car jack and jack it open.
that is; insert the jack in the D and break it with 2 tons of force.

What should I search on that site? I mean whats name of the thing I can open my bike with?

Judging by your posts you are a young chap, why not ask you parents to help, they may have the tools or know someone who has.

Those kryptonite bars got recalled because you can open them with a Bic pen. That cable shouldn't be too hard to cut.

Actually many of the poorer D-locks can be broken by twisting with a large crowbar. Unfortunately, if you have one of the best ones that are resistant to this attack the bike frame is likely to be bent and damaged in the attempt.

When you lock a bike with a D-lock, you should use the smallest lock that will fit, and make sure the interior is filled as much as possible with the bits being locked so there is less room to get anything in there and apply leverage.

The April issue of Cycling Plus magazine did a test of bicycle locks and the best peforming D-locks were the Kryptonite New York 3000, the Squire Paramount Plus 2047G and the Axa Secu-City Plus 1604G. All three resisted leverage and motorized cutting attacks for at least 5 mins. Various models by On Guard and Magnum also resisted leverage and brute force attacks very well, but were susceptible to cutting.

... five minutes.

Impressive.

Well, that's all the time it takes to get weird looks from people passing by, possibly someone brave enough to do something about it.
