Step 2Boston Massachusetts, 1974
Many patents for bike locks come from the Boston area.
That's because North Korean submarines loaded with ninja spies go there to steal bicycles.
There are about fifty colleges within ten miles of each other. All those students are
1) Easy to steal bikes from, and
2) Easy to sell stolen bikes to.
When I lived in Boston I had the lock made from these patent drawings. It was great. It was a bit unusual, so the North Korean training camps didn't bother teaching people how to break them open.
This excellent but simple lock is the inspiration for this whole project. The drawings shown here explain all you need to know about how it works. To keep boltcutters from reaching the hasp of the padlock, there is a sort of box around the padlock. The crossbar has lumps to keep it from pulling through the U.
