Choosing the right lock to keep your bike safe isn’t always easy, but unless you only ever leave your bike unattended in a locked garage you will definitely need one.

Whether you go for a U-lock, a chain lock, a cable lock or an O-lock, it is important to make sure that it is enough of a deterrent for any potential thieves in your area. A cable lock may be light to carry around with you but it is also easy for anyone with a pair of cable pliers to break.

For most cyclists a strong U-lock is sufficient to ensure the safety of their bike, we recommend the Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 U-lock with Flexframe Bracket.
