Hey guys, my fiance and I are moving to The Heights in a couple of weeks near TC Jester and I-10. We are both interested in keeping bikes around for some light duty coffee shop/bar strolls around the area. I’ve gotten us a couple of cheap bikes and set them up, but I’m dividing by 0 on the locking situation. I’ve over researched it now, and I’m finding most people recommend U-locks ~$100 like kryptonite. That’s all fine and good, but knowing all locks can be broken, just a matter of how easy, what percentage of bike value should I consider spending on a lock?
These bikes we have were around $300 each. So not dirt cheap, but nothing like the multi thousand dollar rigs I see rolling around sometimes. I’m thinking the $100 u-lock is for people who own more valuable bikes, or lock up in public all day everyday? maybe I’m wrong?
​
TLDR: Bike value $300, location: Heights. What bike lock should I buy?
