Streetfilm: Grading Your Bike Locks, Part II

Here's some levity for a dreary Monday -- and an appropriate way to kick off bike month. Following up on a video from 2003, Streetfilms' Clarence Eckerson recently took to the streets with bike mechanic Hal Ruzal of Bicycle Habitat, checking up on how effective city cyclists are in securing their rigs. Writes Clarence:

As with most sequels you need a new wrinkle. This time we thought we’d give Hal some company and invited former Recycle a Bicycle mechanic Kerri Martin (and founder of The Bike Churchin Asbury Park, NJ) to weigh in with her expertise. Once again, bikeson the streets of SoHo provide lots of fodder for laughs and lessons tolearn.
