I own two lock systems that work great but I know sometime, somewhere someone will steal my bike. This is why I take it in everywhere I go.
There re are locks that attach to the frame and lock between your tire and frame but are built into or mounted on the bike. They are like a c lock. Cannot remember the name of them as of now though.
Youre riding.... That's great. You are saving money. Buy a damn good lock, take insurances the on your bike, and be carefully where and how you lock it.
Go go cheap on the lock and you will pay the price. Bye bye bicycle.
I do not live in a bad area nor do i go to anywhere were there is one. Wherever I am parking my bike will be where lots and lots of other bikes are, and i almost guarantee someone will have a nicer bike than mine as well. I have been paying attention to the types of bikes and locks other people have. Almost al of them have those cable locks, ive only counted 3 u locks.
If I was a criminal, I would shoot for a bike with one of the cable locks and not bother with a u lock. I think something as simple as this
