Indeed, the best lock is never having to lock a bike, never leaving it out of sight. If need be come back and check on the bike every 15 minutes. I know this does not appeal, and it is not always practical, but how much do you love your bike, what is better to be annoyed at checking on the bike- or to be annoyed because the bike was stolen?

Now even though we know that the best lock is never needing a lock, would anyone seriously own bikes without also owning locks? Thus, we must conclude that we have to make a choice, which lock is it going to be, a cable lock, a chain or a U-Lock? Those of use who have done the homework know that a small U-Lock is best. We want it to be small because it buys us more time; it makes it harder for the thief to steal our bike. Time is the key, the thief does not want to get caught and the longer it takes him the greater chance he will get caught.

I would love to see how long it takes a person to saw through the Kryptonite Forgetaboutit lock (while it is attached to the bike and the rack leaving the thief with cramped quarters and limited mobility). If someone finds that video send it my way. All in all I don’t think there is a better lock on the market- The Kryptonite New York Forgetaboutit. Get one and learn how to use it. Again, I don’t work for the company I just love the lock.
