You may know that everybody in Holland (the Dutch) rides a bicycle, and they have the best bike thieves in the world.

This is the lock (type and brand) that the Dutch use to keep their bikes safe:

• Approved for bicycle insurance in NL/FIN/DK/SE/UK
• 62 mm opening above the metal/silver section
• Hardened steel bracket and lock housing
• Anti drilling plate in cylinder
• mounted permanently on your frame, no need to carry it in a bag
• takes 2 seconds to lock or unlock: key activates a spring
• Also stabilizes your bike when you lock and lean it against a tree or post, as the lock prevents the wheels from turning forwards or backwards
• Weight: 630 grams (shows how solid and strong it is).

Mounting depends on your frame. Some frames have holes this can be screwed onto, for some you'd have to find some bolts to fit it just right. (mounting screws etcetera not included)

*************** Now Universal Mounting Kit available for $10 ********

Comes with 2 keys.

Once you have used this type of lock, you'd never want a cable lock or a D-Lock again.

Lock on auction identical to one in picture, except for the shape and colour of the red button, and some small lettering.
