Even without the new customer code, it seems to be the cheapest price for Australia.

Note that it ships from the UK. They claim to deliver within 7 working days. Probably still faster shipping than Auspost.

    I must be out of touch…but $100+ for a bike lock seems crazy to me.

      depends, how expensive is your bike?

      • brotherfranciz on 14/01/2020 - 11:26

        The thing is, if you've got such an expensive bike, you probably wouldn't park it out in public no matter how much you paid for a bike lock; or you would be parking it near where you are sitting at the cafe that wouldn't warrant a bike lock.

        I don't have an expensive bike (paid $1300 for it brand new - carbon frame, Shimano 105) but I still park it in a bike locker at work. There is no way I am leaving my bike locked to a public bike rack - the potential for scratches and dents is too much for me to take!

          Wise people also lock their bikes when stored in a bike locker.

          • pippohippo on 14/01/2020 - 13:21

            @chrism238: i agree. Whilst most bike lockers have cameras or need key to enter, some people tailgate or say they forgot their key, or left it inside the bike storage cage! Next minute, they find a few unlocked bike

        • belongsinforums on 14/01/2020 - 12:41

          my bike was around $1000 new and i consider it expensive. i see heaps of bikes get vandalised - people jump on the tyres and bend them. sadly some australians are like this. i dont know why vandalism is part of australian culture.

            It’s not, it’s part of trash culture.

            • belongsinforums on 14/01/2020 - 13:22

              @mapax: what i mean is, there are countries where vandalism isn't a common thing, e.g. japan. im sure there are other places. bicycles are everywhere in the netherlands. not sure how common bike vandalism is ther.

          i have a similar priced one. my idea is basically make it harder to steal than the bike next to mine which may have like a 8mm shackle or a wire lock etc

      Yeah, but you also have people paying paying more for a bicycle than what you could buy a motorcycle for.

      I would have thought the same once until I started cycling to work and realised any cost involved is so small compared to the alternative (car ownership and/or public transport) that a $100 lock is fully paid for in 10 business days of cycling ($10/day public transport).

      • pippohippo on 14/01/2020 - 11:17

        which state cost $10/day for PT?

          WA for starters, $4.90-6.90 one way (most people would be 2-4 zones) - https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/tickets-fares/fares

            @DoctorDubb: WA fare looks so confusing!

            • justtoreply on 14/01/2020 - 12:15

              @pippohippo: The best part is they can't process the "free transit zone" properly. At least on my fare, if I don't tag off at the busport then it charges me more. It's adding up the distance instead of excluding free zone distance when it calculates the fare.

              Dont even get me started on default fares - the system could be programmed to calculate the correct fare, there's enough info, but it always slugs you much more.

              • pippohippo on 14/01/2020 - 13:14

                @justtoreply: sounded like melbourne in the past where a bus was zone 1 and 2. It'll only process zone 2 if you're using the 2hr ticket

        • odysseus on 14/01/2020 - 13:19

          NSW easily. Train fare costs ~$11/day here in Sydney for me. If commuting from Central coast/Blue Mtns/Illawarra as I know people who do, even more.

      If it takes LPL over a minute to unlock it's good enough for me.
      Was looking to get a NY Kryptonite lock but couldn't find one for a comparable price so I picked this one up 2 days ago.

      This explains why we often see unlocked cheap bikes - someone has stolen the expensive lock and left the bike.

      • cheaponos on 14/01/2020 - 14:30

        That happened to me as a kid, they stole my helmet and lock and left the bike!

    I need a good secure bike lock but have been put off by the weight of these U locks. This one is 1.5kg, not the heaviest one but still quite a bit of weight. Just wondering what is the use case of these heavy locks. Do you really carry these while cycling?

    • pippohippo on 14/01/2020 - 11:19

      usually leave it on the bike rack at your final destination, shared bike storage cage.

      it comes with a mount so you can mount it to your bike when you're not using it. ive ordered one so ill let you know if i have any problems with it once it arrives

    • bargaino on 14/01/2020 - 11:42

      A rule of thumb for road bikes is: 12kg, minus the weight of your bare bike.
      That is how much weight of locks you need.

      a corollary is that all road bikes weight the same, with lock included.

    • odysseus on 14/01/2020 - 13:21

      Its okay if you do short distances. If you're commuting long distances regularly better to lock it at your destination.

      • belongsinforums on 14/01/2020 - 13:23

        a mate had his bike stolen. left it unlocked while he ducked into a shop. gone in 60 seconds

          if you're going to duck into a shop unlocked i would suggest to shift to the lowest gear (unless you're riding a fixie) otherwise, tie the helmet to the rear wheel. It'll slow the thief down but could be the difference from them riding away, carrying it away slowly…or dumped a few metres away from where you left it.

          • kingmoron on 14/01/2020 - 13:31

            @pippohippo: id never duck in unlocked. but if you were you could even like take off the chain / one wheel

          Yep happened to me as a 13yr old, brand new bike for Xmas. Had it for 3 months and mum sends me to the shop to get cream. Walk in grab it pay and walk out. New bike gone in less than 60 seconds. Still haunts me to this day l.

          • pippohippo on 14/01/2020 - 16:27

            @finger: Guess I've been luckier with my local IGA. Always parked it near the counter unlocked as a kid and no issues. Probably because the bike was a old and isn't branded. I wouldn't risk that anymore though. As bad as a cable lock is, I'll use it for a quick shopping run along with shifting gears down, and helmet at the wheels. Otherwise a decent D-Lock is the way to go.

          Was saying it's okay to carry on the bike if you do short distances. If you're commuting regularly, better to keep the lock at the destination rather than carry it on the bike every day.

  • garage sale on 14/01/2020 - 14:03

    It weighs 1.4kg ….seems to go against the spirit of having a light weight bike, then add 1.4 kg for a lock.

    Chain Reaction has it for the same price with free shipping. Marginally better cashback rates if it works with new member signup. Same company as Wiggle so probably also sent from UK.
