Everything you need to customize your ride
The flexibility of a cable lock, security of a U-lock, and more compact than either, the Bordo is not only the best way to lock up your wheels, it’s also extremely effective as well. When folded, the lock fits snugly into the included rubber mounting-bracket and isn’t much wider than your bike frame. We LOVE this lock.
It’s not every day you find a bicycle lock that doubles as a fashion accessory. Well, here ya go. This patented bicycle locking system can save you some serious headaches (ie not having your bike stolen) but it’ll also keep your pants up! That’s right, the Hiplok is a bicycle lock AND a belt. We’ve been using our Hiplok for quite some time and it’s super strong and incredibly handy to carry when it’s wrapped around your waist. The locking mechanism (aka buckle) is super easy to use, and includes three keys – because if you’re like us – you’ll probably need the backups. A great lock to replace that cheap, flimsy cable lock you’ve been using to secure your bike.
