Mighty Amsterdam Lock

 (3 customer reviews)

It's a half step better than leaving your bike unlocked. The only good thing about it is that it's sort of part of the bike once installed, so it's easy to deal with. You might improve it by locking a long cable onto this and around something besides the wheel. With simple tools this can be removed from the bike frame (but not wheel) while it is still locked. A thief will not have to cut it off the frame, but will have to steal another wheel or else cut this thing. There are better locks at your local bike shop.

My biggest objection to this product is the name "Mighty".

This is NOT a leave your bike out all night in NYC lock. This is a "I am just going into the store for 5 minutes and I can almost see my bike." lock. Minimal security visual deterrent for casual theft. And as such it IS a good lock. A valuable PART of your anti theft strategy. Lock like the locals do.

I've seen this lock opened in seconds without the key. It may be a visual deterrent, but nothing more.
