So, of course, today's paper had a story in it about the "U" lock problem and what should people do to protect their bikes. The reporter asked a cop what he thought and he said, "We lock ours up with handcuffs and haven't lost one yet!"
Should we all go down to the cop store and buy handcuffs? I know where there is such a store in town (it sells police/fire/ security guard uniforms and accessories as well).
Maybe multiple handcuffs--one for the frame and one for the wheels as a start.

You know, that's not a bad idea. Are they heavy or light?

As mentioned by someone (but I'll repeat it anyway) MOST HANDCUFFS OPEN WITH THE SAME KEY Locking a bike with handcuffs is not a good idea.

And I suspect that Cop Cars left with the windows down and keys in the ignition are not going to be stolen in even the very worst neighborhoods either. Something about not taking things from guys with Firearms who are both trained to use them and authorized to use them and you are in real trouble if you use any force to respond to their use. (as opposed to a thug where a proportional response in the case of inability to flee is okay... )
The Masterlock cuffs use a round key. I have gotten around to trying to open the ones I have with a Bic Pen yet. But they work great for locking up the bike.
