How to tell if you need a new bike lock

05.14.2008 | 6:38 pm | Everyday Life

B decided to ride his bicycle to the local home improvement store (yes, we should own stock in it since we go there VERY often…). He determined what he needed to fix the hot water tank. (See the prior post regarding the hot water tank.) Knowing that he was going to leave his bike unattended, B went outside into the ever stocked, organized garage to get his bicycle lock. B’s bicycle lock had a row of numbers on the lock, whereby the numbers had to be aligned correctly for the lock to open.

After a very short time, B determined that he needed a new bicycle lock. How did he come to this conclusion?

1. The last cylinder on the bicycle lock would not turn.

2. The unlocking code of numbers is highlighted in red.

(We remember doing this a long time ago so the kids could play with the lock. Not a very secure lock for B, now…)  However, I’m sure if a crook wanted to steal B’s bicycle, they wouldn’t mind the code being highlighted in red…
