Recommendations For A Bike Lock

[Koronin]

Thanks for this thread as we are also looking at getting locks. We're planning on taking the bikes with us (most likely the mountain bikes) when we go to Bristol and need good looks to lock them at the track while we're in the track watching the races. We see a lot of people riding their bikes from where they park the vehicle to the track and back and if we can do that we can park a good bit farther away from the track. The other thing is I'm close enough to a few stores I'd love to be able to use the bike instead of the car for minor errands. Thank you for this thread.

I have a Kryptonite "U" lock along with a 4' cable to wrap up the front tire to the frame and through the U lock. That way the thief has to carry two different implements to defeat the two types of locks. If someone really wants to get your bike they will.

I have On-Guard D lock with key, with a 5' long cable to tie my bike on my rack if I'm going to be inside a store or put it in my car, or if someone wants to lock their bike on my bike rack as well. They have a guarantee that it won't be cut through, and if it does, they will replace the cost of the bike/frame (I think, please double check on this...).

I use the D lock on my rear wheel to the frame, and if I'm using the cable, I wrap it around the bike rack.

I never EVER leave my bike alone overnight tied to something (with exceptions of Triathlons where you need to leave your bike overnight - security is always there).
