Kryptonite combination u-lock (i recently got one, big fan of less keys).<br /> 2. One of those rear wheel ring lock things all the Europeans have, with the plug in chain. I have one, its superb.<br /> 3. lockable front QR, I've never had, but assume available.</p> <p>also depending on where overnight storage is, a motorbike chain that lives there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21562#post-375588 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 16:39:45 +0000 wingpig 375588@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I came up here with the same Citadel-U-lock-plus-cable-padlock-in-saddlebag that I used in rural Lincolnshire (and still use in newer/sturdier forms today), but I was bringing up my only bike; I would use my dad's rubbish bike when visiting home. Nowadays, I'd maybe look for something usable-and-nice-to-ride-(and-fully-dynamo-and-mudguard-equipped-(rather-than-having-to-lug-detachable-lights-around-when-locked-up))-but-not-of-too-much-sentimental-value to go away with. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21562#post-375560 Wed, 19 Jun 2024 22:00:35 +0000 chdot 375560@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bigger Q is ‘what sort of bike will they be happy leaving around?’</p> <p>Lock <em>plus</em> <a href="https://www.apple.com/uk/airtag/" rel="nofollow">https://www.apple.com/uk/airtag/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21562#post-375559 Wed, 19 Jun 2024 20:17:40 +0000 SRD 375559@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We’ve aged through childseats, brakes for small hands, and other challenges… </p> <p>Soooo…. What locks do we send them off to uni with? </p> <p>Mini-SRD has a small hip lock but we’re thinking something more flexible needed but also something pretty strong ? Silver rather than gold probably? </p>
