Bike locks and chains are essential items to have with you at all times to avoid theft! In fact, it is not uncommon for bicycle thieves to be waiting for you to stop for a coffee or to buy a replacement tyre and... it's all over in no time!
So that you can use your bike with peace of mind, whether in the city to go to work or for sport on asphalt or dirt roads, our suggestion is to always secure it with a safe and suitable lock.
There are a number of solutions on the market, choose yours and... make life difficult for attackers!
As far as bike padlocks are concerned, there is no one ideal solution for everyone; they guarantee different levels of security, but they also depend on the value of the bike (economic and sentimental) and on the place you ride/are parked. Once these considerations have been made, we can say that at Cicli Mattio you can find different models and prices of bike locks, but they all fulfil their function: to protect your bicycle as much as possible.
The most common models are:
In addition, there can be padlocks in both keyed and numbered combination variants.
The keyed versions are the most popular and usually have two or three keys, and are sometimes equipped with an LED light (depending on the price of the product). The combination padlock, on the other hand, has another advantage: it is not necessary to remember to carry (and not lose) the key, but it is essential to memorise the combination.
Chain padlocks are made of rigid metal links and protection against theft depends substantially on the size of the individual links: the stronger they are, the better! Of course, more security also means more weight to carry. The chain lock is also very popular as an additional security element, to provide additional protection, attached to the rear wheel for example.
