Now, it has been shown that a Bic pen can easily open several models of Kryptonite U-locks. Please patch your systems, or install a tracking device on your bikes!"

    Apparently the retard who moderated my original post to Offtopic never actually read Zodiac to find out that Kryptonite U-Lock bicycle locks were a major tool of the main characters, thus a story element because the enemies of these characters would find their gates locked shut with them.

    Not that I'm bitter or anything.
