Review and Giveaway of WordLock Bike Lock

Where we live in on the North Shore of Oahu, there are tons of bikes because this is a college town and one of the most efficient ways of getting from point A to point B is by bike.  Unfortunately, that makes bikes a hot commodity in terms of theft. 

So I was excited to have the chance to review a WordLock bike lock for Second Born who got a brand new bike for her birthday in February.  Let me just point out that she LOVES this bike because she's been able to ride a two-wheeler since she was about four but has never had a new bike--only her sister's leftover bike/bikes.  She loves this bike so much that she doesn't actually ride it a lot because she doesn't want it to get dirty or stolen.  Now that we have a WordLock bike lock, we're halfway there to her actually riding her new bike.  And she is really into her WordLock bike lock.  First of all, it comes in four colors so she got a pink one.  But, she told me, it's a "cool pink" not a "girly pink".  Go, Wordlock!  The word combination was incredibly easy for her to set by herself and she doesn't have any problem with opening the lock either.  We both like the curled, heavy-duty braided steel and the lock holder that installs on the bike to hold the lock when not in use.

What else is there to love about WordLock bike locks?  Definitely all of this:

• 10,000 possible letter combinations
• Heavy-duty braided steel cable
• All weather, color vinyl coating
• 60 inches long x 0.4 inches thick (1524mm x 10mm)
• Mounting bracket included
• Available in four colors: Red, Black, Pink, Blue

This bike lock is the first lock that enables the use of letters and words as combinations that can be set and re-set. WordLock uses patented algorithms that create the best mix of vowels and consonants, maximizing the number of four-letter words that can be created on Wordlock letter dials.

We love Second Born's new WordLock bike lock because it's cute, heavy-duty and easy-to-use.
