If you get a large chain & padlock, leave em at your target location.. I.e I leave mine locked to the bike rack in DCU, it's too heavy to be carrying it on my bike everyday. I have the ulock for quick tops. Also, never leave the padlock resting on the ground, you are leaving it open to getting whacked with a hammer. Wrap the chain good and tight about the frame and the 'immovable object'. | If you get a large chain & padlock, leave em at your target location..

There are standards for locks, one of which is the SoldSecure label. | |||

Apparently the more expensive Kryptonite locks can be bought on ebay, and are better value than from cycling shops. | |||
That's around about it. In conclusion, get a Granit chain and a Ulock & don't ever lock your bicyle in the city center if you love it. | That's around about it. In conclusion, get a Granit chain and a Ulock & don't ever lock your bicyle in the city center if you love it. | ||
