Message-ID: <181@foros1.UUCP> Date: Wed, 13-Jun-84 03:15:09 EDT Article-I.D.: foros1.181 Posted: Wed Jun 13 03:15:09 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 15-Jun-84 00:14:25 EDT References: <317@nbs-amrf.UUCP> Organization: Fortune Systems, Redwood City, CA Lines: 18 I seem to remember reading an article in Consumer Reports a few years ago, which did some detailed analysis of bicycle locks, including talking to some experts (ex-bike theives? I forget). If I remember correctly, their recommendation for the best off-the-shelf was the Kryptonite (sorry, it doesn't have a chain), and the best *period* was something they put together, combining a chain from one company (throwing away the lock) and a lock from another company (throwing away the chain for that one). Sorry, that's about all I remember, and I'm not in a position to look up the reference. Anyways, I hope this helps... (If you're wondering, I don't own a bike at the moment, but I'm planning on buying the Kryptonite lock when I do). See ya! -- JR (John Rogers) ...ihnp4!fortune!foros1!jr also fortune!jr and proper!jr
