Top of the Line Bike Lock Easily Defeated
I have no idea how fast news spreads in the biking community, but since I haven't seen this mentioned in the Daily Cal, and because there is a significant number of bike riders in Berkeley, consider this a public service announcement.

The Contra Costa Times recently ran an article, "The pen is mightier than the bike lock" describing how one of the top bicycle locks can be opened with a bic pen. The type of lock is a "U-shaped Kryptonite" brand lock, so if you or someone you know uses this lock, I'd reccommend reading the article and getting a new lock.
