Bike lock of the future

I'm back from a month-long trip to the UK - beautiful. The one thing I missed the most about America was my bike!! I'm happy to report it's still in my possession - I bought a new Kryptonite cable lock, and already someone has tried to cut through it in three places!!

This seems to be a great place to ask: what is regarded as the "best" bike lock out there? I want something more than the usual cable or U'lock - maybe a complete theft-deterrant system.... anything outstanding available??

Lock it up

Try looking at a motorcycle shop for some extra heavy duty locks. Kryptonite makes some called 'barb wire' and NY Chain. I have a barb wire loop that works with either a motorcycle specific ulock (smaller than a bicycle ulock) or a standard size ulock. Speaking of ulocks...my ulock is make by abus and I bought it in Germany. I have no idea if or how much it would cost to buy one here (USA). It's a great heavy duty extra long motorcycle specific lock.

Smith & Wesson makes a great complete theft deterrant system. Handy for hiking in bear territory too. A bit noisier than those car alarms when it goes off.

I'd like a theft deterrent system that uses electricity....it would be shocking.

I'm using a LOG CHAIN! with a Solid-brand extra heavy-duty padlock. some punk-a**es already tried to bust the lock with something, cuz u can see where the impact occured...no dice for them, haha.

And they call it civilization? Up here, I use a cheap padlock to lock my chain to a spoke. That's enough to keep my bike safe. And it's easy to carry when not in use. It helps keep all those cables neat.

I use a brinks motorcycle cable with a big a*s brinks padlock... hopefully it'll spare me the grief you've experienced.
