Abstract
Abstract A lock includes a shackle for locking a wheeled cycle and includes a cable for locking the wheeled cycle to another object. Two catches are slidably engaged in the lock and each has a knob extended outward beyond the lock, the catches may engage with the ends of the cable so as to retain the ends within the lock. Two pins are slidably engaged in the block and are forced toward the catches to engage with the catches so as to lock the catches in place when the shackle is engaged in the lock.
