So apparently it is fast becoming general knowledge that Kryptonite bike locks, formerly known for being uber-secure, can be opened in 20 seconds with a ball point pen. Don't get me wrong, I don't think people should use this info to start stealing bikes - having your bike stolen sucks hard (I've had several thieves steal bikes of mine over the years, using all manner of theft techniques, which is why I no longer lock my bike up in public). But Kryptonite lock owners beware - your bike is not as safe as you once thought, so you might do well to take other security precautions. Here's a video of some dude opening a $90 Kryptonite EV lock using a Bic pallpoint pen.

I tried opening two different models of Kryptonite U-locks with cylindrical keys, but could not open either one. But for any nonbelievers out there... REI (big outdoors store, all over the U.S.) has officially stopped carrying all Kryptonite products that use cylindrical keys (I saw the notice myself).
