Good basic lock

good basic lock cheaper than the store easy to install if you want something more secure than your going to have to pay this is not leave overnight in the city lock if you get me its good for a few hours especially if you have a nice bike otherwise its a good basic lock..

Good quality lock. Gets the job done.

This U-lock is priced right. It's not excessively heavy and it is durable. Do not expect a miracle when the box arrives; expect the best for your money.

PIECE OF JUNK

2007-08-04
My bike got stolen with 2 of these locks on it. Security cameras caught a thug in a hoodie (of course, not identifiable) with bolt-cutters. Took all of 10 seconds. They were kind enough to leave one of the locks. In pieces.
If you stole my bike, I hope you get hit by a truck on it.

No-frills Lock

2007-07-02
In a nutshell, this is really a no-frills U-Lock. I am completely satisfied with this lock, but I am aware that much more sophisticated bike security technology exists, so I wouldn't rate it as perfect.

I regularly leave my bike parked and unattended in ***Downtown Houston*** with two of these and two Bell cable locks (one for each wheel), and I have had no problems. When using bike locks, I go for quanity as opposed to quality. Multiple (4 or 5) average locks will overwhelm a thief way more than a single 'good' lock, IMHO. I'm even thinking about buying a third...

doesn't work

2008-06-18
i don't usually have the time or bother to write reviews, but i just thought i'd let everyone know that like several other reviewers of this lock, i too had my bike stolen using it. another bike locked to the same post as mine with a different u-lock was left untouched.

the lock doesn't work. reason enough not to purchase it i think. i'm getting a more heavy duty one this time.

Bell Hands off Bike lock

Exactly what I wanted.It would take too long for a thief to cut through it.You may want to buy a chain also,especially if you have an expensive bicycle.

Sturdy indeed

I bought this when I bought my woman's bike, and made a mistake. It is definitely for use on man's bikes without a doubt. It made a great gift to the spouse and is really strong and trustworthy. The price is right and it is really practical.

Heavy

It's a little bit heavy but I guess you do not have to worry about someone taking a hack saw to it unless they have all day. It comes with hardware to attach it to your bike but I just keep it in my bag.

Good way to loose a bike

My bike was locked right outside my door to a metal railing with this lock. Went out, came back 4 hrs later and bike was gone, all this in broad daylight in the middle of the day. Unlike one of the other reviewers, I dont know how the lock was broken, but if you live in an area where many bikes are stolen, buy a better lock.
