description Generic Cable Lock (Coiled) Overview

A generic coiled cable lock is a poor choice for primary security in any urban environment. While it is lightweight and easy to carry, it can be cut in seconds with basic hand tools. It is only suitable for securing a bike for a few minutes in a very low-theft area or for locking accessories like a helmet or front wheel. It should never be used as the sole lock for a commuter bike.

It is included here as a comparison point for what to avoid when investing in bike security.
