Caveat Emptor
Jeez. I bought a bike lock about 9 months ago. For most of that time, I didn’t even use it, and it never got left out in the rain, ever. I just started using the bike and its lock once or twice a week in the last month or two. And just a few days ago, I heard some rattling around in there.
Then yesterday, when I unlocked it, it literally came apart in my hands. That is, the guts spilled out of the keyhole. And this I bought in Inagi, where the round trip train fare alone would cost more than just buying a new lock.
Goes to show: you never can fully trust an unknown quantity, just ’cause it looks good on the shelf.
Did you know that “Bull Lock” or “Bullok” means spoiled in Tagalog? (As in spoiled food, thought we tend to use it on things too ^^) Just an fyi…
