Shopping for a bike lock is definitely not one of the easiest - or most exciting - exercises to ever grace a to-do list, but it sure is an important one. According to recent crime data, 376,000 bicycles are stolen every year in the UK, which works out at about one bike stolen every 90 seconds. Uff.
