morning. HELP? Okay, so I had a bike lock (it was a wire with two oval loops at each end). Obviously, not safe.
So I biked to the nearest bike store, got the cheapest lock, a U lock--or D lock as its also called--but this shit is so much more complicated that I thought it would be. I thought the U just EASILY unhooks somewhere, you put around your seat post and wheel, rehook it, and lock it. I opened the box and its obvious there's more to this than I thought. I just got it out of the box. How do I get my lock ready so I can ride.
I need to ride tomorrow. I have to go to a metro station, and be there by 9:00, and I'll be away for hours, so I definitely can't trust the other lock. So this is pretty urgent.
Please help...
PS- The instructions that came with it are barely any help to me (I'm don't take much to learning how to fix, make, or work with things via mere black and white images)
