What?! Recalled? Bitches, better send me a new one.
Oh, ok, they plan to. And they did. And they even publicly admitted the manufacturing error.
The lock you see to the right is basically what I have, but I got mine like six years ago so the lettering looks different. But they sent me a new lock – just the thing at the end that locks the chain together. Better yet, I really needed a new lock because the old one was rusted solid. I had to soak it in WD-40 overnight to even get the key to turn.
Of course, none of this really matters because I never lock my bikes anywhere anymore. Who am I kidding, I don’t even ride my bikes anymore. But at least now I have a shiny new defect-free lock.
ps: if you look at the date on that cnn article, you'll notice how old it is. i found out about the recall when the article came out. that tells you how vital it was to me to post something about it.

i avoid having my bike stolen by riding the crappiest bike i can find. mine came from a yard sale, in fact. so for me, the lock is just ceremony. of course, someone might steal my bell, which would be tragic.

why didn't i think of that? i'm sure i could pin something on them. i'm "reading" con law right now. i've been "reading" the same case for two hours. if you can't ride a bike, it can never get stolen. take me for instance. i ride bikes. i've had two stolen. you're two bikes ahead.

I should be reading ConLaw now, but I can't because I'm just like a bicycle - two-tired.
