When you step away from your bike somewhere on a trip, having a solid lock makes a real difference to your peace of mind. With a built-in alarm and a 1.2m chain, you can sleep soundly even at a guesthouse's bike parking. The weight is a downside, but it's worth it for the peace of mind protecting your companion. Theft prevention is the foundation that supports an enjoyable trip.

Is this kind of lock actually effective when parking on the street rather than in a designated area?

Street parking is exactly where a sturdy lock like this really proves its worth, and the alarm works especially well as a deterrent in places with foot traffic.

Bugs me that the article doesn't give the actual chain thickness or weight.

For the same kind of alarm lock, I'd want to see it compared against other brands' products too.

Even if the alarm goes off, whether anyone around actually reacts depends on the environment.

For this kind of heavy-duty lock, Oxford's a brand I'd trust.

Right, ideally you'd have both insurance and a lock, but starting by locking things down first is the right call.

A lock and chain with a built-in alarm, that's some pretty reassuring anti-theft gear.
