RResidents in Japan

I broke the bike’s rear lock keys.

So I accidentally broke the bike’s lock keys and this bike was just given to me after not being used.

It was not used for a long time because the previous owner just got a car and left it in the dust.

Any suggestions?

  1. Remove the old rear lock and install a new one?

    Also, you got the bicycle’s registration updated, right?

  2. Take it to the nearest bicycle store and they’ll break the old lock and replace it with a new one

  3. My daughter lost her key, my husband took the bike to a bike shop and they removed the old one and fitted on a new one, no problem. The bike has the city registered sticker but I am very sure he didn’t dig out any paperwork beyond that. Perhaps they will be more punctilious about registration paperwork for a foreign customer, but can’t hurt to try.

  4. If you don’t want to go to a bike shop to get the lock replaced, you can just buy a chain lock and use that instead.

    Or if you do not live in a high traffic area, just leave it unlocked.
