To be honest, most cyclists I know who don't read this forum have little to no idea about locks. People think I'm nuts to have spent £90 on locks and when I start talking about it they just kind of go quiet as if I'm a rambling idiot. Granted, the people I'm talking about don't have flashy fixie-blingers with £50 saddles, but it seems a lot of people (including me a couple of years ago) start riding fixed (or any flashy bike) without knowing they're sitting on a thief's dream labelled "steal me". Also if you look at a lock section in a bike shop you're presented with a wall of 'reassuring' security information not valid for London's famous This Is London.
