Best Bike Locks

Litelok & Hiplok dominate the angle grinder hype, check the weight & price; Kryptonite & Abus are the standard for reliability but beater bikes > any lock in high-theft zones; U-locks are the gold standard for security; chains are awkward but move during cutting; folding locks are convenient but rivets are a weak point; use two locks and take the bike inside if you want to keep it
