U-Lock bike locks defeatable by ballpoint pen
Certain kinds of bicycle U-Locks can be opened using a ball point pen
If you use a U-lock on your bicycle with a round key, your lock can be opened VERY quickly using a pen.
It is advised that people switch to using locks that do not have a round key as soon as possible.
Also, all the soon to be discarded u-locks can still be effectively used for direct action, so I recommend activists try to get their hands on as many as possible.
