I have received many requests from people to make a video with advice about bike locks. There are lots of different types of bike locks available on the market. This video will help you decide which type of lock is best for your security needs. Please leave comments and SUBSCRIBE. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing. what is the name of the Dutch lock? is it available in the US?

Those master locks are freakishly easy to pick. Don't know if thiefs actually take the time to pick locks

my bike costs about 500 dollars there are cameras facing rack there are bikes about the same price around that are locked with CABLE LOCKS that don't get stolen while I'll be using a hiplok 1.5 and a kryptonite u lock with cable I think I'm ok

Great advice and it is appreciated.

I live in the Netherlands and I never knew that the bike locks we use are not used in the usa, pretty interesting.

Someone stole my bike today I called the police but they wanted to know the serial number and I don't have it...I have no idea that bikes have serial number...the funny of it is that he left a bike unlocked and stole mine which was locked (he left a good bike - perhaps a stolen one also - and unlocked mine in 3 seconds and stole it) unbelievable: the manager of Metro was too kind to show to me a video of the theft...I'm sad and it
makes me laugh at the same time...why he did this...why?

Good video

dude you look exactly like Chandler Riggs :D, thanks for the vid

people steal bikes in Canada?

I think the reason why your bike hasent been stolen is due to it not being worth that much. Cable lock? Easy to cut through in seconds. Same goes for that heavy chain. Ring lock im not to sure on how secure it is but the cable that it uses is easy to cut as well.

I also like those wheel spoke locks a lot and got one while in the Netherlands. I had a combination lock almost exactly like yours which was easily broken through on a busy college campus so I think it only took a matter of seconds. I don't really trust those much anymore.

I don't trust any kind of cable locks... seeing a cable on a bicycle is just screaming to be stolen... Especially if you live in a city.

thanks :)

The U lock is not secured at all. It can be broken into in seconds! Check out other YouTube's reviews on locks.

Where can I get these locks in Las Vegas NV where we had our pretty blue girl's bike stolen just this morning off our porch! Despite having it cable locked in a Senior Community!

bikes are the most stolen thing bc it's easy and it gives you a means to get away fast. my bike was stolen

Probably should have watched this video before my bike was stolen.

6:20 if its a chain that you buy on on length specific to your desire, it is cut in the store to size with a saw or bolt cutter: the thief can do the same thing because the chain is stainless steel, not hardened. Get a chain that is set to length by the manufacturer.
