Aida, I might look into whether any bike rental companies around the city might be willing to donate you their used locks. There&#39;s a chance that they might budget to replace them every so often whether or not they&#39;ve reached the end of their useful lives, in which case you could score some decent secondhand locks.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Erik<span></span><br><br>On Tuesday, April 12, 2016, AMS Bike Co-op &lt;<a href="mailto:info@bikecoop.ca">info@bikecoop.ca</a>&gt; wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hey everyone, <br><br>We&#39;re involved in a couple programs that provide free/by donation bikes to
