Hey folks,
I'm currently working on a university project and am looking to design a new type of bike lock. I want to get as much research as possible, and opinions from as a wide a variety of places as possible.
The main problems I see with current locks is that they are heavy, cumbersome, and difficult to carry. And if they aren't, they're weak as hell (i.e. cable locks).
So if any of you have any opinions on any of these questions, I'd appreciate your feedback:
1 - What bike lock do you use? (type and/or make and model)
2 - What problems do you think exist with the use of current common bike locks? (those being D locks, chains, and cable locks)
3 - What (if anything) do you think could be done to improve current bike locks?
4 - Do you have any other opinions on bike locks in general that you think might be relevant?
Thanks for your time :)
Felix
