A new bike lock accessory seems like a strange concept

A new bike lock accessory seems like a strange concept

By on 07/07/2011 in Cycling accessories

Hiplok review

By on 20/06/2011 in Cycling accessories

Bicycle chains are heavy necessities for cyclists. Over time I’ve tested a number of inventive methods for carrying them. On the handlebars was a huge failure as they make the important act of steering a difficulty. Attached to my belt using a device such a lock holster worked okay. Of course, in the bag is [...]

How to prevent your bike from getting piranha’d

How to prevent your bike from getting piranha’d

By on 09/09/2010 in Safe cycling in London

A couple of my cycling friends have recently been victims of bike piranhas. They’ve come back and noticed their bike is missing a saddle or a front wheel. In the worse cases friends have reported coming back to their bike to find nothing but the frame and the bike lock. Unfortunately, even using the correct [...]

Kryptonite New York 3000 lock review

By on 10/12/2009 in Cycling accessories

This lock is good for two things. Knocking people out and securing bikes. I’m very glad to say I’m only planning on using it for the latter. Review includes a comparison of the different locks and a final opinion as to whether I’m happy with the purchase.
