Bike Locks

[City Commuter]

LockPickingLawyer and Bosnianbill are both good lock review sources, here are two examples from 100s of LPLs tests. They break Chain locks, U-locks, folding locks, All locks.

Bosnianbill testing Streetcuffs, my pair are 8 years old, and still help keep my bikes safe.

If you thought that 90 pound fire safe was secure

Hope he didn't fill his lungs with abestos like dust opening that safe.

It doesn't matter what type of bike lock you use when there are thieves like this around.

It's cement not asbestos. And as a Locksmith I wouldn't waste my time cutting open a Sentry safe or even drilling it. Been using a rare earth magnet to open these ever since they went to an electronic locking mech. years ago.

My buddy Terry...aka "Mr. Locksmith" shows you how in this 2015 video...

If a dedicated thief really wants some bike, then the bike is toast. Locks, though, will discourage most!

As I posted Before ... Lock your ride in View of a Active surveillance camera ! Make Sure you find out Which ones are Active in your area. ?

Discourage as much as is practical (locking security bolts for parts) and lock down all the major parts of the bike. After that, be prepared with a plan if the bike does get stolen (insurance, register your bike at a place like BikeIndex.org ...). I use two locks with my commuters. I cable the front wheel, cable the saddle rails, make sure I lock 1 of the locks through the back wheel and frame to bike rack and get the other lock frame to bike rack:

This is how I keep my e-bike secured. The beefy mini U-Lock I use can only secure the frame, thus I had to improvise to secure the other parts. Frame lock that came with the bike is used to secure rear wheel, front wheel (via chain attachment), saddle and helmet (via cable leash). Also it's worth mentioning that front wheel has good locking skewer, so that chain that runs around the bike rack also doubles as secondary lock, securing entire bike to the rack along with the U-Lock. Seat post quick release was also swapped for a hex bolt with pit stopper hammered in, to discourage cutting the leash.

It's also worth noting that guy parking his bike next to mine takes things seriously, frame/wheels/saddle are all secured.

In my opinion the best bike locks on the market are the UK Made liteloks and German made pitlocks to secure your wheels , seat post etc

My dad always said, "Locks are only to keep honest people from stealing your stuff."

Bright Lights, and Monitored Surveillance Cams are your friend too !! Thieves Don't like being watched or Recorded either. ?
