Bicycle Lock Selection Guide

Cable and chain locks have different lengths. The length of a bicycle lock depends on its use. If you only use the lock to connect a wheel to the frame, a short bicycle lock is sufficient. If you want to secure your bike to the fixed world (a lamppost, tree, bike rack or something similar) then you will need a little more length. The longest bike locks are usually only suitable if you want to attach several bikes to something at the same time. Also keep in mind that the longer the bicycle lock, the higher the weight and the less easy it is to carry.
