Kryptonite U-Shape Locks Worthless

To make a long story short, the u-shaped models of Kryptonite's bike locks are all able to be taken apart just by inserting the back end of a Bic pen and wiggling it a little.

Just incase anyone here has one of these, buy something else! What CNN analyzes is the fact that Kryptonite is one of the leading bike lock companies and this discovery is really going to hurt them.

Haha.. ha. Glad I'm not in middle school/high school anymore. I used Kryptonite the entire six years I took my bike to school.

People still bring bikes to High School? That's news to me.

No, No you dont ever get confused foofoobot.

But wouldnt they check every way to open the lock? You'd think they would have come accross this in testing....or possibly they just hoped nobody would notice...
