Breaking U Locks

Ah, yes, the U lock. With it's many (in)securities it is a popular lock for bikes. This method we will show is what is known as a "Brute Force" method. We will literally be breaking the lock.

The first thing to acquire is a simple car jack. Insert the car jack between the U-lock and the bike rack or whatever it is locked to. Now carefully crank the jack putting pressure on the U-Lock. The lock will soon deform and break, opening the lock. Be sure the end of the lock doesnt fire out at you when it breaks off!
