We hate bike thieves, especially the ones that made off with our delivery boy’s BMX (well how else do you think we get our goodies to you so quickly?). That’s why we’ve been looking for a bandit-bamboozling lock to flummox would-be bicycle thieves. Step forward Bike Cuffs. Based on standard issue police handcuffs, these ingenious loops of hardened laminated steel are set to become the bane of bike-burglars everywhere, and they make other locking systems seem as effective as lengths of string.

The heavy-duty cuffs attach around the fork and disc rotor so would-be thieves can't make off with your bike unless they’re armed with some kind of Fort Knox-busting wonder weapon. This nifty arrangement means you won’t have to fool around taking off your wheel for full lockdown. You don’t even need to use the keys to secure your bike, just click the cuffs using the integrated buttons.

Thanks to a hardened pivot link, wannabe crooks can’t use leverage to defeat the cuffs. What’s more, the heat-treated, patented lock core is virtually pick-proof. Even Houdini would have problems busting out of these babies. In fact build-quality is so high, Bike Cuffs come with a lifetime guarantee.

Of course no locking system is completely impenetrable but Bike Cuffs are highly-rated by crime prevention experts. Police-approved security assessors, Sold Secure, have awarded Bike Cuffs their highly coveted Silver Rating (Gold’s for humungous locks only), a judgement that should reduce your insurance costs*. Bonus! Apart from welding a ship’s hull to your frame every time you park, we can think of no better way to secure your bike. So get ordering. Thieves will hate you for it.
