    If you already have a good pedestrian vehicle: a good bike lock.

    I (and lockpicking lawyer) recommend the kryptonite evolution. Good balance of price and protection.

    For a step up I recommend the kryptonite fahgettaboutit.

    Either way, bolt cutters aren’t getting in, and portable angle grinders will take a little while because the chain is annoying to grind.

    I see too many expensive bikes chained up with thin little locks.

      The evolution costs as much as my very good MTB…
      Yup! That recommendation is at best for those >2000€ bikes at best

        This is the one I’m talking about, $75

        Kryptonite Evolution 1055 Mini 10mm Chain Bicycle Lock , Black https://a.co/d/0xjPXNw

        If your bike is worth over $300 then imo it’s worth it, now that every douchebag has a mini bolt cutter in their backpack (around here)
