Here is our advice for making the right choice:

  1. Choose the type of lock that suits your journeys :

    U-lock (U-lock) : strong and reliable, perfect for long stops.

    Reinforced chain : flexible and robust, ideal for attaching your bike to different supports.

    Cable : lightweight and practical for short stops, but should be combined with another lock for added security.

  2. Resistance is key : opt for a Sold Secure or ART certified lock, a guarantee of protection against theft.

  3. Size and practicality : your lock must allow you to attach the frame and a wheel to a solid fixed point. A small adjustment often makes all the difference!

  4. Routes and Roads tip : combine a U-lock for the frame and a cable lock for the front wheel . It's the ideal combo to effectively protect your bike.
