The design has been improved, in that the chain secures directly to a hardened deadbolt, so that there is no weakest link in the chain. Kryptonite has a patent pending on that design. The disk-style cylinder has been beefed up with even more security, so it should resist anyone but the formidable LockPickingLawyer (and he is <em>not<\/em> going to want your bike!).<\/p>\n<p>This chain ships with 3 keys; one of them is an LED lighted key with replaceable battery. This lock is encased in a nylon sleeve to protect your bike. It also has a sliding dust cover over the keyhole, and ships with a mounting bracket. And it is eligible for Kryptonite\u2019s optional Anti-theft Protection Offer. Kryptonite has been around for decades and <strong>excels in after-sales care<\/strong>. They offer optional protection against theft up to $3,000. You can also register your keys in case you ever need a replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>No. 2: <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2CQyUDI\">Kryptonite New York Standard Lock &#8211; Best U-Lock Type Lock for Bike Commuters<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33536\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33536\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2CQyUDI\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"33536\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/kryptonite-new-york-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Kryptonite-New-York-1.jpg?fit=750%2C460&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,460\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kryptonite New York 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Kryptonite-New-York-1.jpg?fit=300%2C184&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Kryptonite-New-York-1.jpg?fit=750%2C460&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-33536 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Kryptonite-New-York-1.jpg\" alt=\"7 of the Best Bike Locks to Keep Your Bike Safe.

#tablepress-214-no-3 from cache -->\n<p>This lock is much like our no. 1 choice, but is <strong>smaller and lighter<\/strong>. This is good for obvious reasons, but has one serious drawback \u2013 it restricts the variety of locking options. I have one of these and sometimes become annoyed when I cannot reach a particular object I need to lock to (which is why I also carry a standard lock). On the other hand, if you have a slim-line bike and an appropriate object nearby to lock to, it will keep your bike snugly secure.<\/p>\n<p>The smaller size of this lock can be an advantage, because it makes it <strong>that much harder for thieves to attack<\/strong> (there is much less space for them to insert a crowbar or a jack). Like the Kryptonite New York Standard it has a double deadbolt and center keyway.

#tablepress-214-no-4 from cache -->\n<p>This is an extremely strong, heavy duty chain. Because it is a chain, you have much more flexibility in terms of what you can lock it to, than you do with a U-lock. It is available in a 3-foot long and a 5-foot long option.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is much heavier than a U-lock. I cannot imagine that anyone would want to actually carry it around. The 3-foot long chain weighs 10 pounds and the 5-foot long weighs 16 pounds. It is ideal for keeping your bike super safe while parked all night in your condo parking, or all day in a bike cage while you are at work. In both of these situations, you could leave the chain in place and not carry it around. During all the years I bike commuted, I always left a chain like this at my parking place at work, permanently. It was much easier than carrying it back and forth. This is only useful if you have good bike parking where you can leave a chain.<\/p>\n<p>This Kryptonite chain features massive 15 mm round chain links made of hardened steel that provide extreme strength. Even with an angle grinder, this would be hard to break, as chain links move around. You would need to secure the links with a vice grip, while wielding an angle grinder. It comes with a protective nylon cover.<\/p>\n<p>This is quite simply the <strong>strongest lock<\/strong> that Kryptonite offers.<\/p>\n<p>This lock <strong>has been rated as Gold Standard by Sold Secure.<\/strong> It is a beefy monster of a chain, and definitely one of the most secure locks you can buy.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/stop-your-bike-from-being-stolen\/\">How to Protect Your Bike from Being Stolen<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2>No. 5: Onguard <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2mmCPRU\">Brute STD<\/a> &#8211; Best for Bike Commuters on a Budget<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25606\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25606\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2mmCPRU\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25606\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/?attachment_id=25606\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/On-Guard-Brute-STD-200.jpg?fit=200%2C253&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"200,253\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"On Guard Brute STD 200\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;No. 4: Onguard Brute STD&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/On-Guard-Brute-STD-200.jpg?fit=200%2C253&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/On-Guard-Brute-STD-200.jpg?fit=200%2C253&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-25606 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/On-Guard-Brute-STD-200.jpg\" alt=\"7 of the Best Bike Locks.

It boasts a quadruple deadbolt lock. This sounds impressive, although no one has conclusively proven that this is any safer than a double deadbolt lock.<\/p>\n<p>The company does not offer the after-sales perks offered by Kryptonite, such as key registration and anti-theft protection.

#tablepress-214-no-6 from cache -->\n<p>This lock is different because it is a folding bike lock \u2013 in fact, it is the <strong>strongest folding bike lock available<\/strong>. It is lighter and more portable than U-locks or chains. Interestingly, although it carries a Gold standard rating from Sold Secure, it is not as highly rated by another independent standards evaluator. This suggests that it would rank at the lowest end of the Gold rating; that is, other Gold-rated locks would be stronger and more secure. This makes sense, given that its bars are thinner than U-lock shackles; plus, it has pins holding the bars together, and these could be attacked by thieves.<\/p>\n<p>It is still strong enough to be used in high risk parking situations, and offers the convenience of ultra-packability and portability. Also, because it is so flexible, it will work better when locking your bike up in odd places &#8211; for example, you can thread it around odd shapes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because this lock is quite unusual, I have included a photo to show the lock in use.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25627\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25627\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2wr6iAl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25627\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/?attachment_id=25627\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Abus-Bordo-Granit-X-Plus-6500-on-bike.jpg?fit=750%2C730&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,730\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Abus Bordo Granit X Plus 6500 on bike\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Abus Bordo Granit X Plus 6500 Foldable Lock&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Abus-Bordo-Granit-X-Plus-6500-on-bike.jpg?fit=300%2C292&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Abus-Bordo-Granit-X-Plus-6500-on-bike.jpg?fit=750%2C730&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-25627 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Abus-Bordo-Granit-X-Plus-6500-on-bike.jpg\" alt=\"7 of the Best Bike Locks to Keep Your Bike Safe.

#tablepress-214-no-7 from cache -->\n<p>This is <em>not<\/em> the bike lock for you if you want to leave a $500 or more bike parked in public for longer than about three minutes. However, it is a good deal if you want a super budget bike lock option for certain circumstances:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To lock your bike within sight while you have lunch on a patio.<\/li>\n<li>For your grade school child to lock his or her bike up at school (not at a store on the way home).<\/li>\n<li>If you have a beater bike that you don\u2019t care about too much, and you don\u2019t plan to leave it for more than a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Basically, to lock your bike for short periods in circumstances when you just want to deter someone long enough so that you can walk over and say, \u201cHey, that\u2019s my bike!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For those uses, its 4-digit combination lock offers quick, keyless convenience. It\u2019s just 2-foot-long, so it\u2019s easy to carry around, and long enough to go around the frame of your bike and attach to something solid.<\/p>\n<p>For the price this budget bike lock is well made, with steel cable and a plastic sheath to protect it. It&#8217;s very well rated, and is Amazon&#8217;s no. 1 best seller in budget bike locks.<\/p>\n<h2>Factors to Consider in Choosing a Bike Lock<\/h2>\n<p>If you want more information about how to
