Bike Locks That Work
Expert-tested locks to protect your ride

Professional-grade U-lock with anti-theft protection program.
- • 13mm hardened steel shackle
- • Includes cable for wheels

"The gold standard for city commuters. This lock has protected my bike through 2 years of daily use in downtown. The weight is noticeable but worth it for the peace of mind."
Master Lock Combo Cable
Budget cable lock for quick stops in safe areas.
- • 4-digit combo code
- • 6-foot flexible cable
- • Low security rating

"Perfect for coffee shop stops in safe neighborhoods. The 6-foot cable gives flexibility for awkward bike racks. Just don't trust it overnight or in sketchy areas."

Ultra-light combo lock for casual riders.
- • No keys needed
- • Flexible 32-inch cable
- • Basic security only
- • No mounting bracket
"Great backup lock or for low-risk areas. The combo mechanism is smooth and the cable flexibility helps with tricky locking spots. Just realistic about its limitations."
