Just through the entrance of The Wheel Thing bike shop in downtown La Grange sits a display of the variety of bike locks available for purchase. The prices range from about $20 for a wire lock and upwards of $100 for a heavy chain or U-lock.
According to George Egner, a sales associate at The Wheel Thing, the type of lock you should buy depends on what you generally use your bike for.
“If you’re just running into the store, a wire lock is usually good enough,” Egner said. “But if you’re going to leave it out for a long time, a U-lock is worth it.”
Many of the higher-end locks available at The Wheel Thing also include a wire lock as well, for securing your seat or second tire, Egner pointed out. And, some brands, like Kryptonite Locks, even include a warranty policy that will replace the cost of your bike up to $2000 if it’s stolen.
“You’re probably going to need a pipe cutter to get a U-lock off,” Egner said, adding that they do it occasionally at The Wheel Thing for customers who have lost their key. “There’s a lot of sparks and it takes awhile.”
The point being, that cutting off a U-lock would draw more attention than it was worth—and there’s likely an easier steal anyways.Web Images News Translate Books Scholar Gmail more
