    I somehow managed to break the key in my U-Bar bike lock (a small part of the key is stuck inside the lock).

    Any ideas on how to open it to free my bike?

    Cheers.

    Lots of ways.

    Bit of Araldite glue on the end of a thin metal rod, hold it on the broken bit for a min, then pull it out, then use your spare key.

    Then there are the Caveman way.

    PM me if you want to know how to "Break" it open. Im not saying on a public forum.

    What lock is it? if its a ****e sub e30 you could prob just smash it.
