I use 3 locks. Bwuahahaha...

>multiple locks

I feel stupid for never having thought of that.

Locking up next to a bike with a worse lock.

Probably a black hole. I would like to see someone steal your bike from that.

I boobie trap my bike.

I do that with all my old bikes. I cut the brake wires and shit and then leave it out somewhere with a weak lock on it. They get what they deserve.

>>197444
... i usually just sell my old ones

tie a ravaging pitbull on ur bike

U-lock + cable lock

A cable lock smeared with your own poop

Here's what I do. I think it's the best ratio of effort/weight to results.

I 'Sheldon Brown' the back wheel using a Kryptonite Evolution Mini:

http://www.sheldonbrown.com/lock-strategy.html

I used to cable lock the front wheel; now I have a Pitlock skewer for the front wheel instead. My seatpost is secured with a Zefal anti-theft QR.

This setup seems to be okay so far (about a year locking my $1100 road bike daily on a theft-prone college campus), and adds next to no weight while riding.

This is a vast improvement over my old strategy, which was a long-shackle lock through the rear wheel and seat tube, with a cable lock for the front wheel and a thin cable lock for the seatpost.

My only concern about the Sheldon strategy is that some dumb thief will look at it, go 'hey, easy, I'll just saw through the rim', and wreck my wheel trying to unsuccessfully steal the bike.

A $10 bike. Then you can use any lock.

Or a more expensive bike with a similar lock.

Kryptonite New York Lock

hey have you guys seen the Knog locks?

they look pretty, but i wonder if they're actually effective

>>197444
How about the driver that's minding their own business when some asshat rolls through because the biker cant brake and the driver ends up fucking up their car's paintjob?

>>197474

They should be used to that already, what with fixie fags and all

Only fags care about what color someone elses shoes are.

>>197499
says the fucking hipster. yeah, i know who you are.

Abus. Either U-lock or chainlocks. My lockpicking pals recommend these.
Anyway, don't buy something with a tubular lock.

according to this vid

there is no hope

kryptonite U-locks are the best, but they come at a price.

Remember that even the best lock is nothing more than a deterrent. With the right tools and opportunity, your bike can be stolen in under a minute no matter what kind of lock protects it.

>>197562
samefag here, adding on.

I cycle competitively and have been locking my thousand-dollar racer on the streets of NYC for the past 7 years with a single kryptonite U-lock. Never been stolen. But it's insured if it is.

>>197565
I sense a troll.

my set up:

krypto u-lock - front wheel/bottom tube
krypto chain-lock - rear wheel/seat tube (the chain's lock around the frame)
pinhead skewers - just for the added protection

i think that's about as good as you can get before you start soldering your quick-releases to ensure you wheels and saddle don't get stolen.
