The guy can still cut the lock and leave with the bike while you're shouting at him "stop". I see no practical use for this one.
I'm just confused why they awarded 4 out of 5 stars for this Bordo. Seems like their argument is "it's great when combined with U-lock". Maybe it's a 1-star without the other lock.
How many locks do you use? 2 locks minimum seems to be standard here (2 U-locks, or 1 U-lock + cable, or 1 U-lock plus something like that Bordo).
