I had these on a couple of errand bikes -- err, well, one was a trike. It was very nice to be able to discourage messing about with the vehicle, which is all you can expect these locks to accomplish. I particularly liked that the key would not remove from the lock until you locked it, thus sparing

My grandfather had a Raleigh that same color, with that fork. I used to ride it when I visited them in Phoenix, my first experience with a Brooks saddle too. I would ride that thing for hours into the desert, mostly north on what became 99th Avenue, past what became Lake Pleasant. Ah, the strang
