    This bike locks 6ft, although being coiled it looks a lot shorter. It comes with 2 keys (I find it harder to find key bike padlocks rather than a combination). It seems strong although being coiled it’s not terribly easy to put on the bike!

    This is a decent, basic lock. It won’t stop someone with a pair of cable cutters — you get what you pay for. I would not use it on an expensive bike but it is fine for providing a mild deterrent. It works well.

    As the name suggests, this is a basic no frills bike lock. It’s substantial but light enough to carry around with you and has a good length which allows you to wrap it around the bike a couple of times and the thing you are locking it to. It comes with two keys which allows you to keep one at home for emergencies. I would imagine that it could easily be snapped with bolt cutters if someone was really determined to steal your bike, so if you’ve spent a lot of money on your bike you should probably invest in a more sophisticated lock.

    This is a keyed cable lock and not combination cable bike lock as shown in the picture. The cable lock is sturdy does the job well. The length is long enough to secure two bikes together. Its easy to lock and so far nothing wrong with the cable.

    For starters it’s nice and long so you can run it through your wheels for extra security. It’s quite thick too so nice and sturdy. My boyfriend has an old bike so she’s his pride and joy. You can never have too many locks on your bike to put thieves off attempting to steal it. This is a good quality lock for the price. You get two keys so it’s great to have a spare.

    This is an Amazon Basics item. I have had several of Amazon Basics items and always been satisfied at their quality for the price point. They do exactly what they say they will do.

    This bike lock is no different. Most bike locks can be easily cut through with bolt cutters, and I’m sure this would be no exception. So if you have an expensive bike you would be better to look for a higher quality (costing much more probably!) lock.
    But this is fine for my Halfords Basic mountain bike. And would be fine for a child’s bike too.

    It’s not too bulky and not too heavy, so fits easily into a bag.

    It does what it says it does. What more could you want?

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe Amazonbasics adjustable keyed cable bike lock is a visual deterrent to casual, unsolicited bike ownership reassignment.
    It’s a lightweight, easily portable, tight coil of cable that I’d wrap round the stem of my handlebar.
    The model I received is a 6 feet length of pen-knife-proof, thickly laminated, twisted wire whose ends connect inside a branded plastic shell. It’s about long enough to include the wheels and the frame core and the nearest, thickest bit of free-standing, concrete-footed ironwork.
    The cable is unlocked with an old-school key. It looks likely to put up token resistance to a hacksaw but not be able to resist medium to heavy duty cutters.
    I’d use it if I was going into a shop for 5 minutes AND the bike was locked to something looped and immovable right outside a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall plate glass window that I’d have in line of sight the whole time.
    Or if I could see and probably touch the bike from my outdoor seat at a charming, quiet village tea shop.
    Or if I was having a picnic right next to a concreted-in dungeon manacle ring and I had to step away for a brief, fizzy-pop-related emergency.
    For up to a hundred quid’s worth of old bike with everything requiring spanners to release, as long as there was a firm place to tie to outside, I might be tempted go up and down the whole middle of Lidl with reasonable peace of mind.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A lock for quick errands or a bike you won’t miss

    AmazonBasics 6 ft. Adjustable Keyed Bike Cable Lock is a good quality bike lock which is locked easily and safely using the key provided. I like the feel and texture of the lock as well as the fact it is made to withstand abuse.
    Easily and quickly locked makes this ideal for the bike lover in this family. He likes how easily and quickly he can lock his bicycle which is his pride and joy, the fact that the actual cable is manufactured to a good standard gives him much needed assurance.
    A high-quality bike cable lock which I am happy to recommend.

    Great length on this – it’ll wrap round your bike and the nearest lamppost several times! As my fellow reviewers have noted, it’s a key lock not a combination one so double check. My husband prefers keys as he’s always forgetting the combo otherwise….
    The steel cable covered in plastic is strong and sturdy – ok, any determined thief is going to get your bike if they really want to, and have bolt cutters to hand, but this is a perfectly good deterrent. The keyhole is covered too so it will prevent rust.
    At just under 11, this is pretty good value and will last years I reckon.

    This is a great bike cable. Adjustable to 6 ft. Very easy to use, I like that it has a key, also a spare, as I always forget the numbers I select on combination bike cable locks. I keep the keys with my car keys so I do not mislay them. The length is long enough to secure my bike when home and also when out and about. Great for when (after lockdown) I can use our local cycle track and head to the next village for a coffee. This cable will easily fit through my bike to the posts outside my favourite coffee shop. The cable is strong but surprisingly light to carry. The lock and key work easily. I highly recommend it.

    This little bike lock is perfect and it’s little features are very handy! Easy instructions and seems like it would keep your bike safe! Definitely recommend and a must have for those cyclists out there!

    For the price I am really impressed with this bike lock. Actually, even if it cost a fair bit more I would still be impressed. This lock comes with two keys, it is not a combination lock as some of the photos show. The key works well, slots in and turns the lock easily but when locked we tried our best to force it open but had no luck, although I would have been very disappointed if we had. We also have a lock picking set and tried that but failed to open the lock. The cable is thick and would take an awful lot of work to break so I would feel secure using this to lock my bike up. Amazon Basics are normally anything it basic and this bike lock is no different.

    We’ve had Amazon Basic items and one very much like this one that so used on his bike which he used to leave at station. So knew that the make is a good but budget priced one for your average run of the mill bike.
    It’s black and heavy but not too heavy to cart about in your bag if going to different places and not just one place like son did with his. The length is a good long one really important as daughter uses it to wrap around her bike then a pole that’s a little distance away and some chains wouldn’t make that space as easily as this.
    Two keys come with it and for the price and strength a good buy. However there is nothing stopping anyone from taking a pair of bolt cutters and cutting it it’s not invincible but for average bike ok.
    It’s the deterrent factor if someone is going to do it they will but they might think twice seeing this on it as might grab attention to themselves with having a pair of bolt cutters. Might be an Amazon Basic range but it’s good and value for money which is important too.

    very good quality and extremely strong lock!

    I live in London and thefts are happening every second so I needed something that’s really secure.

    This heavy duty bike lock is not too heavy yet its really strong and doesn’t look like it can be broken.

    I definitely will feel much safer having this lock than my old one.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersNothing basic about this lock, Amazon Basics are often very very good, and this is no exception!

    The cable is very string plastic coated steal cable, so any thief will need the mightiest pair of cable cutters to break this, which will make them stand out a mile!

    The key action is nicely fluid and will enable no hanging around getting extra wet when the British weather decides to make the journey on your bike that extra bit nasty, but at least you’ll know that this cable lock does it;s job well and will not hold you up!

    It looks like it will not rust, I know that is hard to tell just by checking it over in the first week, but the steel looks very good quality and not like my old bike lock which seized up with rust in the lock! I seriously think this will give years of service if looked after!

    Don’t hesitate, if you need a great quality bike lock, this is a bargain!

    Please note this is a keyed lock and not a combo lock as in 1st picture in listing 9the rest of the pics are accurate). For 10 this does the job of a deterrent to the opportunistic thief. I suspect bolt cutters would go through this like butter. I use it for a kids bike but if you have an expensive bike this is not the lock for you – buy something with a sold safe gold rating.

    Meine Familie und ich leben in einer ausgewiesenen Fahrradstadt, was dazu fhrt, dass wir unsere Zweirder gerne und oft benutzen. Leider hat dies auch seine Schattenseiten, da die Diebstahlquote von Rdern und Fahrradteilen in unserer Stadt sehr hoch ist. Guter Schutz durch Schlsser ist da das A und O.

    (!) Um es vorab zu sagen, kann ich zu diesem Zahlenschloss keine weitreichende Meinung abgeben, da mir eine Variante mit klassischem Schlsselschloss geschickt wurde. Auch die Halterung zur Installation an der Sattelsttze fehlte bei meiner Version, was ich besonders schade fand. Das an mich verschickte Schloss konnte ich bei einer amazon Suche nicht entdecken, so dass ich die Rezension nicht an der richtigen Stelle platzieren kann. (!)

    Was aber grundstzlich fr beiden Varianten gilt, ist das die Schutzstufe sicherlich nicht zur alleinigen Sicherung eines Fahrrades ausreicht. Es drfte mit einfachem Equipment binnen Sekunden geknackt werden. In meinen Augen dient es eher der zustzlichen Absicherung (zwei Schlsser sind mehr Aufwand fr einen Dieb als eines). Vorteilhaft ist, dass es aufgrund der geringen Schutzstufe sehr leicht ist und daher problemlos als zustzliche Sicherung mitgenommen werden kann. Zudem ist es gut als Schloss fr ein Kinderfahrrad geeignet, da sich hier groe und klobige Schlsser kaum mitfhren lassen.

    Insgesamt, auch angesichts des Preises, ggf. eine gute Mglichkeit der zustzlichen Sicherung. Wie sich das Zahlenschloss, insbesondere der Mechanismus, in der Praxis bewhrt, muss jemand bewerten, der auch tatschlich diese Variante erhalten hat.
