I will be starting at ASU next year with a new bike. My bike will spend long periods of time (like entire weekends) in the fenced-off bike storage unit at my dorm and I heard ASU has a lot of bike theft. I know I probably need a u-lock because I heard it was the most secure and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for which brand/model I should get or if I should combine it with other kinds of bike locks.
Thank you.
Any name brand u-lock should work fine. Some other ideas to make your bike look less attractive than others around it are to remove the seat and/or the front wheel if easily removed, especially when it is sitting there for longer between uses. You could also use some duck tape to make it look “broken”.
U-lock with a cable and make sure to lock the frame to the bike rack, not just the wheel or your will be minus a bike and only 1 wheel left.
