I needed a new bike lock, priced them out and realized there was absolutely no way I was going to drop that kind of coin on a lock. Hell, I only paid 50 bucks for the bike on craigslist! I remembered that I had a set of leg irons from when I worked EMS at a prison, and that they are highly resistant to lock picking, simple bolt cutters don't do the trick, and they look freakin' sweet.
There hasn't been a single day that someone hasn't asked about the lock, and gave a chuckle of surprise and envy.
