Definitely would not buy it with out the lock, since you half to buy a lock. And that 40 bucks won't buy anything close to it. Plus the lock really makes this a good deal.

I went all out and got one of these W/ the 4ft. extension cable as well. Obviously I won't be leaving it anywhere out of sight for more than a few minutes because bike theft in Whistler is SO bad. https://www.amazon.ca/Kryptonite-Standard-Bicycle-Transit-FlexFrame/dp/B005YPK9SY/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1463033935&sr=8-6&keywords=kryptonite+u+lock
I don't have a car, so I ride everywhere I go (or public transport).
I do have a D lock - This one:
But at 2.5 Kgs it's a pretty big dead weight to lug around.
I do feel rather daft though, didn't think of just attaching the lock to one of the bike racks and leaving it there till the end. Good thinking Batman!
Get a thicc U-lock (like this) and a thicc flex cable (like this)
When you lock your bike outside, lock the frame with the U-lock, and string the flex cable through both wheels and the seat if you can. Never had my bike stolen. If you have a nice bike, you need to get just as nice security for it.
Other tips:
- Lock your bike in high-traffic areas
- Make your locking configuration as complex as you can
- If you bike in the winter/rain, get chain grease, your chain WILL get rusty af and break if you don't.
You can see most of the letters on the picture.
Haha, yeah I've already ordered one of these. I don't plan on losing this bike anytime soon.
