How to lock a bike: The best locks to buy and the most secure ways to use them

Having your bike stolen is not only upsetting, but can leave you out of pocket if you're not adequately insured. Thankfully locks have been getting better and better. But, sadly, so have thieves.

Choosing the best bike lock is a key part of keeping your bike safe and secure when you're out and about, especially if you use the bike for commuting as well as weekend rides.

More important than that, though, is locking a bike in the most secure way – protecting all the valuable components.
