Although you may not be able to secure them to objects they are quite effective in preventing theft, in case you've ever tried shouldering an carrying one of these pieces of metal. And since the bikes are mostly used in car-free inner city zones you may not even be able to load them into a van. | |

| Sep 8, 2020 at 23:41 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | @DanielRHicks I wonder if its supposed to clamp in the V brake's mounts ? The mudguard would probably hold it too high on this bike though. | |
| Sep 8, 2020 at 23:40 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Honestly? That lock is useless for protection - because it doesn't lock the bike to anything. A thief can just shoulder your bike and walk off. They can often just hold and lift the back wheel at the top edge, with the other hand on the saddle, and "no-hand" the steering while walking off. Don't even bother fitting the lock. -- you appear to have a decent-looking chain lock in the photo too, keep using that around a stationary object. | |

| Sep 8, 2020 at 21:58 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | I am curious as to how the lock is expected to be attached. Few bikes would have screw holes in the area where they would be needed. | |
