cable locks

Cable locks are security devices used to protect bicycles, equipment, or other valuables from theft. They consist of a flexible, metal cable covered in a protective coating, often with a locking mechanism at one or both ends. When securing your item, you loop the cable around it and a fixed object, then lock it to prevent unauthorized removal. Cable locks are portable, lightweight, and versatile, making them popular for short-term security. However, they are generally less resistant to determined theft compared to heavy-duty locks, so they're best used in low-risk situations or as added security.
