Bike locks? What do you use?

[rock2d2]

Most of us don't have room for a large bike lock so I'm wondering what you use when space is at a premium (as is security).

My boot !!!
But if you dont have that you can get disc locks the size of a padlock or pick up a padlock with a longer arm and slide it thru your chain and sprocket just dont forget its there when you go to pull away !!!!

Padlock through the front disc.

if i leave my bike out i have a chain, to protect my powder coated wheels i cut a bike tire tube, slide the chain down it. and then wrapped the ends with duck tape (dad taught me this trick) works awesome then a big master lock and good to go

i would advise against the lock on the disk brakes cause if they do not see it (or you forget) it destroys your down tube and rotor... would blow your mind how many customers we get in that did this!

I agree ^^^^ as i did this the first time i put one on my front disk . Thats why if i do put one on i go woth the rear sproket and chain . a good chain with a old tube works very well just hard to carry sometimes .

I'm short on space on the Bonnie. Might have to settle for a big lock.

I use this at home. It is anchored to the concrete.

I don't use anything when I go riding. I just keep the bike in a public place where I can either see it... or have lots of people around it.
Hard to steal a bike with a crowd watching.

If all else fails ... I am insured.

I use a master lock street cuff. When I'm riding I just lock it onto the frame so it's always with me and I don't need any extra space to carry it.

I find it easier to just ride bikes that no one would want to steal.

I've got one of these with a farkin loud alarm. Not the perfect deterrent as you can smother the alarm pretty good but it stops the lazy ones from having a crack. It comes with a bungee cord that is attached to the lock/alarm and the other end goes round your grips to remind you it's there before trying to pull a sik carpark wheelie.

Old Japanese low displacement bikes are usually not on a bike thief's radar.

Not as worried about my old honda as much as my new Bonnie.

Neevo: Where did you get the lock with the alarm? Sounds like a good idea.

No problemo. They are a great deterrent as they are painfully loud. Triggered by knocking the bike even.

Don't expect it to put off hardened thieves though as you can put your hand hard over the alarm and mute it quite a bit. I do this when I knock my bike by accident in the garage.
