The easiest way to get it off would be to remove the handlebars from your bike stem. Then you can just slide it off.

The stem is what holds the vertical part of your steer tube (top of front wheel fork) to the handlers. There should be 2 or 4 bolts in the front that holds the bars in place. Unscrew those and you can take the bars off, remove the lock, then put the bars back.

Alternatively, you could unscrew the stem cap, pull off the stem, and take the lock off that way. I’d be careful because the fork and your headset bearings could drop out.

Kryptonite also has decent customer service, so you could try emailing them.

My dog Rocko is also named after the 90s cartoon!

I switched from Nova to Total Launcher a while back and it’s been great. It has all the customization features I liked from Nova, plus additional useful features like folder swipe actions that Nova never had
