Secondary Locks

howradmichello, if you happen to work for Atomic22, you have just done your company a large disservice, by demonstrating your lack of cognition of very simple security concepts.

i met the couple behind Atomic 22 at the Brick Lane Spin London event, finding them very likeable; their motivation was clearly problem-solving; i like their solutions..

Atomic 22 are excellent, but not if used on its own. It needs to have a strong deterrent in use alongside it, that thieves can see when approaching the bike....even in the dark.

right, so a primary lock; their skewer is presented as a cheaper and lighter alternative to the second lock

A D-lock on the front wheel will first need to be broken if the bike is to be ridden away, whereas locking skewers won't need to be broken first.

right, good point, so an advantage of the second lock (missing from the Atomic 22 graphic) is the extra theft-detterent being that they've got to break two locks to ride away the bicycle;

i guess the A22 solution works for somebody who is concerned simply about their front wheel being stolen, and the two-locks solution is more for somebody who wants double-lock security;
