The best U-locks, cables, chains, skewers, and folding locks for bicycles, according to experts, including the Kryptonite New York U-Lock, Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit chain lock, ABUS 770 SmartX lock, Hiplok, Foldylock folding locks, and Pinhead locks.
Wunsch also uses the Kryptonite New York lock — she’s had the same one for eight years now — and pairs hers with an affordable cable to protect her bike’s front wheel. “A U-lock will affix your frame to the bike rack, but say you have a quick-release front wheel — you don’t need a tool to take it off, just flip a little lever,” she said. “If you use a simple cable lock and you run that through the U-lock and the front wheel, then you’ve also safeguarded that. It’s going to give a possible thief pause.”
Folding locks are newcomers on the scene. Devotees love that they’re so lightweight and easy to carry, but because they’re thinner than U-locks, not all models are as reliably safe. Crooks said Foldylocks “have put out a great folding lock that improves on its competition and is priced fairly.” The compact model weighs under three pounds and can easily be mounted on your bike until it’s time to unfold it into a hexagon shape that loops around your frame and wheel.
