Aw!

My dads got a lock like that one!

today I locked my uni up in Playmouth in an area swarming with Mbikers and their Mbikes and I got asked what kind of lock I had. The asker had never seen one like it and wondered where it was from. I had to explain I’d bought it in Tokyo and that was probadoly why they had never seen like it before. Oh and its Pink. And , no its not a U lock, its a coated cable lock with intergral barrel lock.
