Riding in NYC Tomorrow--Bought a New Lock
Tomorrow I will be riding in NYC. I will be taking my other Iraq bike, the GT Peace 9er with me. To be sure that bike is not stolen, I bought the best Kryptonite Lock--the Forget About It New York model. I keep the bike in my hotel room anyway, but if I would need a lock--this one is the best. And at 8 pounds, it is just one pound lighter than an M16A4 rifle. So even the weight will be like being back in Iraq.

They say all bikes weigh 50 lbs; a 20 lb bike needs a 30 lb lock, a 40 lb bike takes a 10 lb lock.
