No. Cuts D-lock Now has to push bike rather than ride off. Chain lock which being on the top won't get past front sprocket. Guess they just need to cut chain and fit a new one to be able to ride off.

Reading about that lock it leaks. BBC did a test and it don't smell bad enough to put people off. From what I gather we are in the hands of fate. Just a case of locking up and hope for the best, because there it little deterrent and a good reward for crooks with high value bikes. If the lock...

Just had a near miss. I bought a power plug exstension lead which I've been using, but as I plugged it in to charge today, bang! Battery won't charge. I remember reading about a fuse inside battery, so removed screws and found 10amp fuse behind battery switch. Fortunately I have some old car...

I also thought about detachable peddles or peddle arms. I've thought about unscrewing one peddle when leaving bike outside busy shops. All the videos shows crook riding off not putting bike in a van. I know they do go around in vans targeting bikes but only answer is a tracker but that won't...

Chain lock would be 150mm long hinged tube with teeth inside to grip chain. Any dirt wound remain inside. Tyre lock would curve to match tyre with fingers. Be a bit like grabbing tyre with your hand. Could not cut or leaver either off.

Just me thinking Vs sleeping. If there was a lock that fitted around a chain , it could not be cut without breaking the chain. Could have another lock around tyre with same result. Don't try and defend the angle grinder attack, just make the bike unrideable. Won't stop theif with a van and 5+...

Kit came with light plug, so are you saying don't use? I'm kind of thinking that now. Guess I need to get the battery pack open and find a power source?

My yose power kit came with a front headlight that don't work? It did work then stopped. I could not find out why but had problems with the controller setup, so I factory reset it which seemed to fix the light, however, it's not working again. I've tested and no power to the pins in connector...

No. Never I say electric bike.

I'd stab that motorbike tyre with my pen knife.

It's something I thought about. I know someone that was robbed/mugged for mountain bike some years ago. I've though about locks to defend myself, although that could backfire badly! Guess we all think about a baseball bat bike lock. I fear I love my bike enough to not want to hand it over and...

I've got some rain away I could apply to visor. Interesting thought @guerney

I'm going to try that visor helmet modification. Found this which I found interesting. I've got magnets already. Tired my poncho this week and that worked well in rain, as it covered the electrics on the bike as well as myself. .

Wellies are working great for me. I'm now working on my head having ridden to work in the cold rain this morning. It's also dark. Spectacles and rain is a problem

@saneagle There should be a handlebar support to keep bike level.

Because kids use E-scooter with no protection or insurance? Hiring eliminates that problem? I've seen kids on hired E-scooters. Guess they use false details or older family members details

I still find it bizzare that you can hire an e scooter and use on public road, but not buy one for same purpose. Police confiscating them in the news... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-66983162 I know you need insurance ect, so why not open it up for everyone to buy and...

I've got a flat bar folding lock and an old D lock plus a motorcycle cable lock. I'm going to swap bike rack tomorrow so may look at attaching them all to bike or rack. I don't really want to spend any money unless I have to as have enough locks and having read through posts I think 2 or more...

What about https://thebestbikelock.com/best-u-lock/litelok-x1-review/ X3 is a bit better but both take a few angle grinder discs to get through. British company as well. Still looking at around 5 mins protection, but would a thief find that all too difficult?

For those that are interested. I thought this is a good deal for £22. What we thinking. Bolt cut chain and throw bike in van. Would need to cut chain and angle grind frame lock to ride off. That would be about 2 mins. M-Wave Unisex Adult Ring Chain Frame Lock - Black, N/A https://amzn.eu/d/3hSIjRO
