PICTURES of my bike... well my bike lock

SOO this is what I came back to in HOlland... after going on Winter break - my bike lock TAKEN out from the chain with no other means to unlock my bike from the radiator...I thought I would post some pics so you can see the "real deal". tell me what you think:

1. Here is my bike chained to the radiator...with the lock taken out ... how a person was able to do is, is beyond me. (notice the beginnings of using the bolt cutter..)

2. Here is a close up... notice how there is a hole - that is where the lock used to be:


3. Here is the final product: I cut through the chain with a pair of bolt cutters from the lab ... for 1 hour


I told a bunch of my lab mates.. and they all thought it was the MOST hilarious story ever. :( I guess reflecting back... yes its funny but my goodness going through it was the MOST frustrating ever- my hand muscles are very sore now- after lugging my suitcases up 2 flights of stairs (to my house) and down 1 flight (at the train station), and then spending over 1 hour to cut this chain ....

Hopefully this will be the end of my issues with my bike and my later blogs will be of "happier" times in Europe... (like traveling) :)
