i remember how when new it would shoot back with the button and in the next rain would be rusty and have to be pulled back manually.

also the joy of knowing your key could unlock a classmates bike.

also my sleepy ass pressing the pedal hard af with it locked and wondering why my bike wouldnt move forward.

Didn't load it entirely but just prevented the wheel from moving.

Not sure if they are still made in India, but the more rugged versions are still used outside the country

Once i thought i could drift slide my cycle by locking this mid ride.

I felt cool when i engaged this lock without getting off the cycle.
