Has anyone seen the new Cycling Plus lock tests? What were the results? Sadly they don't sell Cycling Plus where I live, or I'd just go out and buy a copy. Thanks.

I googled this and found some results for the 2005 testing they did. I just bought a new bike and to prevent it from being stolen right away I'm looking for a good lock. In the 2005 test, the Kryptonite New York 3000 u-lock came out on top in that category followed closely (for nonpower tools) by the Onguard Bulldog Mini. I just need to find a place that sells that brand. I'm surprised no one else has replied to this thread because it seems like a pretty big issue in a lot of cities.

They do the test every year. I'm sure they sell Cycling Plus in Canada. I think it's the April issue. If you get it could you please let me know the results? Thanks.

How is your mail delivery over there?

It was easier for me to get a subscription here in the USA.

It's just gotten a lot worse. Six dollars to deliver a 100g padded envelope to my door.

Jaa, but I'm, looking for some results other than for Kryptonite. Locally the NYFU U-lock is over $150 US, which is way too expensive.

Ah....sorry...I don't have the C+ test here with me or I'd give you more details. It's at work and, since it is Saturday, I'm not!

That seems like a steep price for a U-lock, but I guess with transportation or shipping costs maybe. How about a New York Lock or even the Evolution Std? We are coming out with a brand new Evolution lock this month. It has an oval crossbar and double deadbolts like the New York. Basically, it's moving up a notch and going to be similar to the NY Lock at a lower price point. Might be something to look at if you are looking for another lock.

Safe riding, Ziemas
