Here’s an interesting video from Streetfilms with bike mechanics Hal Ruzal and Kerri Martin as they walk around the streets of New York City grading how well bikes are locked and how a thief will try to steal all or part of the bike. Do you know the difference between a Kryptonite lock and a craptonite lock? The short film explains how easily a bike thief can break your locks and get away with a $100 tire or $50 seat. Excellent watching for anyone who rides a bike, for commuting or recreation.
