Bike Lock FAQs
What is the best bike lock for my bike?
The best bike lock depends on how and where you park your bike. For everyday urban use, a D-Lock combined with a cable lock offers strong security and flexibility. If you leave your bike in high-risk areas, consider a heavy-duty chain lock with a high Sold Secure rating for maximum protection.
What lock is the most secure?
Chain locks and D-Locks with a Gold Sold Secure rating are generally the most secure options. These locks are tested to withstand attacks like cutting and leverage. Combining two types of locks can also improve security by making your bike a harder target.
How do I lock my bike up properly?
Always lock your bike to a solid, immovable object. Secure both the frame and at least one wheel with your lock. Position your lock off the ground to prevent leverage attacks, and avoid locking your bike in poorly lit or isolated areas to reduce the risk of theft.
