The company that made my bike lock has chosen to combat picking attempts by shaping it in such a way that holding it the way you need to in order to pick it is very uncomfortable

This would be pretty clever except that it can be picked in 3 seconds flat because 2 out of the 4 digits of the combination are the default location of the wheels

#and theyre next to each other too #not that i expect anyone to try and pick it #if someone is really dedicated to stealing my bike they will come with bolt cutters #and there isnt a bike lock in the world that can do anything about that #this is really just to combat people who have the asinine thought that the owner of a bike wont mind if you just take it #ride it to some random location and then leave it there without telling them #someone stole my scooter in college and when i finally tracked them down they tried to argue that they hadnt stolen it #because they didnt keep it #they left it in a ditch on the far side of campus from where id left it so its not like they tried to return it #oh btw anyone whos in college rn: do not ever go to campus security for this kind of thing #they are there to protect the college not you #go to the regular police #anyway. finally got the lock off my bike. now i can ride it to work #because i can lock it to the fence once i get there #i didnt want to leave it unsecured even if i dont think the lock will do ahything against dedicated thieves
