Bike security...

grudfuttle

What methods have any of you come up with for temporarily securing your bike? A chain and padlock is OK for locking the bike up whilst supermarket shopping, but is there a simple, quick and reasonably secure way of locking a bike for 15 seconds e.g. whilst nipping in the newsagent for a paper? It's the hassle of getting the chain out, searching for the key to unlock it then looking for something to secure the bike to. Ideally, a steering lock similar to motorcycles have would be ideal. Is there such a device? Any other ingenious solutions?

Regards, grudfuttle.

For a quick dash, just a cheapo lock. Make sure no chavs are about though.

Or put in the highest gear and loosen the stem bolts.

Im not risking anything, if Im going to stop for any length of time the big Masterlock handcuffy type things are coming out and then I will sprint round the shop.....

At least you'd be able to hear it getting stolen.

I only nip about on a cheapo hack bike so never leave my proper bike anywhere. I don't take a lock when out riding my mtb and therefore never have he temptation to lock it anywhere.
