Hi, I need to buy a high end bike lock for my nice bike, as I will be leaving it underground parking lot, with some security supervision. There is a heavy steel with loops to attach it to.
What bike lock stands out as the very best one these days?
Thank you very much

And the weight of that thing! I shopped for a new lock a few months ago and played around with that Abus model and it was a shocker. How many regular riders actually carry one of them around?

Probably best used as an 'on-site lock' - to be left locked at the workplace bike parking. Yes 3.75kg is one heck of a lump of securitysogood wrote:And the weight of that thing!

The best lock is a crappy bike.
My Kryptonite is yet to fail though.

Having lived in New York I can say that the Kryptonite New York was a popular lock there too!
Only problem is it weighs a freaking ton!!
