None have anything resembling a scraper, pointed

with bicycling.

Lock raking tools? Are those to acquire someone else's bicycle if yours
is giving trouble?

They're to replace the bolt cutters and angle grinder, which are both
too heavy to carry on a ride.

Ever notice that many bicycle locks do not require a key to lock? Just
close the hasp, and it's locked. Unfortunately, some otherwise
intelligent riders are in the habit of locking their bicycle at the
local coffee shop, only to find that they have forgotten to bring the
key. Also, some lock their keys in their car. When I was riding more
often, this happened sufficiently often to inspire me to bring my
tools. Also, I like to show off a little. Single pin picking takes
too long, so I just rake the lock, use a bump key if available, or use
a bypass technique.

For a time, I suspected that some riders intentionally "forgot" their
keys, just to watch me pick their bicycle lock. I can't open every
lock, but I do well enough. I'm still a beginner and am far from
proficient.
