A 7. Did you mean 1 for cycling

Go to YouTube. Hack Lawyer. The guy knows how to pick locks. It took him 10 seconds to pick the lock, which probably means a minute or so for everyone else. The zipper is probably more effective

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Minor issues

If you need to lock a folding bike.

I love this lock. I added it to a folding bike as there just isn't room for a U-lock and I'm very happy. Its holster is mounted where my bottle cage would fit and it is a very well made device. Also, unlike the U-lock, there is no rattling at all. ZERO. I would definitely buy this again.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive

Pretty heavy for cycling

I have full confidence in this lock to keep my bike safe when visiting a cafe at the end of my trip. Unfolds to about the size of a padlock, and I'm not sure anything other than a hacksaw would work with it. It fits perfectly in a jersey pocket; I live in a very hot climate so I can't do without an extra bottle cage. However, I wouldn't take it on a mountain trip or serious training trip; It weighs a pound and a half, which is quite a lot to carry around and I'm worried about it being carried…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later

On a bike fence

Great but flawed. This lock is perfect for me in many ways. The length is ok and it is very compact. I'm impressed with the overall design. The problem is that the locking mechanism started to stick after being slightly wet once. I was very lucky to unlock it once and thought I might have to go to Home Depot to buy something to slice it open. I applied a lot of torque to the key on the last try and luckily the lock opened before the key broke. Then I soaked the locking mechanism in lube and as…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Super cool and fully functional.

I have combination locks and a U-lock to secure my bikes - a Diamond Back mountain bike and a Coleman motorized tricycle. U lock is the standard for me to feel secure and combination locks are for when I go swimming after cycling and don't want to take the key with me. The style may be a while ago, but I've never seen a castle quite like Hendrix. From the moment you open it you can tell it's a solid piece of engineering. From mounting to a frame with rubber stops, to the keyhole cover, to…

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
