This video explains how to use Germany's most common bicycle lock. Lightweight, cheap and easy to use, they are ubiquitous around Germany and indeed around all of western Europe. Walk around cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam and you will see hundreds of thousands of bicycles on the street locked up this way, even overnight. Yes, these bicycles can be stolen easily, but generally bikes in Holland, for example, cost only around 20 pounds. Expensive bicycles are brought indoors or are locked up in a more secure fashion. A bike lock such as this is especially useful when nipping into a store to do some shopping or running errands. A Cycling Scotland Video.

  • Are you a fucking nazi, bro?

  • @subsidinblu Come live in holland, is doesn't matter what lock you have, if i see you walk away from it.. it's gone

  • These locks are simply shit by design. The circle shaped pin can be pulled apart by a 5-year-old.

  • thus why i use the street cuff it is the best lock no one jacks my shit no mo but this is sorta easy just pick it up and run off

  • ok?

  • that happens... but on the other hand a lot of bikes aren't worth cutting the locks... :P

  • ya true lol

  • Haha someone can go around with a truck to see bikes "locked" and pick them up and put them in his truck.
