Advice on locking your bicycle


When it comes to securing your bicycle, the general advice is that you use a lock that is worth about 10-20% of the value of the bike. 

This video from the GCN Network gives some good advice about locking your bike...

In the video, the Sold Secure rating agency for locks is mentioned.

This is the rating of the locks they have tested...

Bronze: Offering theft resistance against a basic tool list (aimed at preventing opportunist crime)

Silver: Offering theft resistance against an enhanced tool list (aimed at preventing more determined attacked)

Gold: Offering theft resistance against a dedicated tool list (aimed at preventing dedicated attacks)

Diamond: The highest level of theft resistance including use of specialist tools (aimed at preventing the most destructive attacks that could include angle grinders) 

If you go to the Sold Secure website, you can see the rating for many popular bicycle locks.
