| May 15, 2017 at 11:16 | comment | added | Chris H | I'll have a look at the one one my wife's bike. She rides it with the key in the lock (e-bike, the key is tied to the battery key which has to be in to use it). I can't remember whether the lock requires the key present to lock it, but I know you don't need to turn the key. Of course it might not have a brand name on it. Riding with the key in the lock may be the easiest for you though, as you have to unlock it to get going. | |
| May 15, 2017 at 11:14 | comment | added | Chris H | @Criggie On a heavy e-bike (which is where I've used one) such a lock makes the difference between opportunism and planned theft. In many locations that's a big difference; in others all you'll do is annoy the thief when they get your bike back to their home. Especially with a step-though that you can't carry over your shoulder. Picking up motorbikes that aren't locked to the ground used to be quite common, it may still be, but it requires a van | |

These locks are only a tiny shade better than no lock, because the bike can simply be picked up. I've heard of a hefty motorbike being stolen this way, by two guys and a shovel handle through the front wheel. | |

I don't have any more information except that it was in the UK and the bike had an unusual child seat only available direct from China (which was what caught my eye) | |
