Bike Lock Alert!
In case you haven't already heard: In the last few days, news has circulated that many standard U-locks can be opened with a Bic pen. Damn. Now we all have to go out and buy new locks. Please do not use this information to steal Magma Lou before I have a chance to buy my new lock! I would cry. In fact, maybe I'll go buy it right now. Meanwhile, check out the SF Bike Coalition's tips on this subject.
Locke posted some excellent instructional photos here. Yay Locke! (UPDATE: Locke has posted recommendations for Bic-proof locks here.)
