Here are some serious tricks that will hopefully deter the thief from stealing your bike.
Kryptonite Fahgettaboutit
This sturdy two-kilogram lock is designed to cope with bicycle theft in the biggest cities. The steel shackle has a diameter of 18 millimetres, and has a special design to prevent the lock from prying open if someone managed to saw through at one point. It comes with three keys, one of which is equipped with an LED light if you need to lock the bike at night. You should only have to lock the bike, then you won’t have to think about it until it needs to be used again.

Abu Bordo Granit
A foldable chain lock that takes up very little space when not in use. The “links” in the chain are 5.5 millimeter thick steel rods that together give you 85 centimeters of chain to lock the bike with. It comes with a bracket that can easily be mounted to the bike frame, for easy storage when the lock is not in use. You get two keys with the lock, one of them equipped with an LED light.

Aaron Lock One
Aaron is a chain lock with a five-digit number code. The chain is 100 centimeters, which makes it easy to fasten it with several turns around, for example, a lamp post. The five-digit number combination means there are up to 100,000 possible codes, making it difficult to guess the correct code.
The square chain links are made of hardened steel and are also protected by nylon fabric, which in turn protects your bike from scratches.

Axa Solid
A lock that at first glance could be considered weight, but this is not the case. Axa Solid Plus is a high-quality ring lock with a plug-in system, which makes it possible to connect a cable to the lock, so you can lock your bike to a tree or other fixed object. The lock is placed at security index 11 (out of 15) and thus at the higher end of security.

Abus City Chain X Plus 1060
We continue cycling down Abus boulevard and stop when we see the Abus City Chain X Plus 1060 in the shop window. This is a solid chain with 10mm hardened steel hexagonal links. This eight-shaped lock link fits perfectly into the lock housing for extremely strong resistance to a twisting or jerking attack. The lock housing is made of almost impenetrable hardened steel in several layers. The ultimate chain that provides versatile security for your bike.
