i think this is a good idea
People ride a round with locks round their waste that aren't designed for that purpose; the risks are the same whether it is this product or any other lock. The fact a Hiplock is designed for this and thus easier to remove surely weighs in its favour. Riding a bike on London streets is dangerous; your probably just as likely to break your spine because of a pothole in the road as you are landing on your lock
There are countless threads that start with someone presenting a new idea, and then hundreds of posts shooting it down claiming that its puts users lives at risk. People should encourage innovation rather than fostering a climate of aggressive conservatism
