The best bike locks — for convenience and ease of use
A theory: The best bike lock is the one you are most likely to use. So rather than test locks for strength and theft prevention, I tested the four main types of locks for convenience and ease of use in your everyday urban-bike and bicycle-commuting life.

2:44 Folding lock
4:29 U-lock
6:55 Chain lock
8:35 Lightweight/cable lock
10:31 The conclusion: The most convenient type of bike lock is...
But don't worry: I haven't forgotten entirely about security. Rather than test locks for anti-theft properties, I did the research. In this spreadsheet, I've compiled a bunch of lock-testing results into one and determined the top-rated lock in each category: U lock, folding lock, chain lock and lightweight lock.
