Bike lock

[Bolebroke]

Any suggestions as to how to break my thick articulated metal cable lock (Mister Lock brand name) which i have wrapped around my bike...i snapped the key off in the lock...apart from standing there for 8 hours with a hacksaw....

Can you get access to electricity ? If so angle Grinder,

otherwise a good saw will go through it surprisingly easily.

Just go down the local Spar and ask one of the chavs standing outside...they'll probably be able to get the lock off in seconds

Boltcutters or angle grinder will easily do it.

If you're using a hacksaw, it will be quicker to cut through the frame

And I have both, but not coming to London until 19th December

Turn the lock with needle nose pliers, or a thin screwdriver or something, shoved in along side the key stub?

The local fire brigade will probably help you out.
