A bicycle lock is a safety device used on bicycles to prevent theft. Putting and handle and rope locks are used.
Putting lock
A putting lock is a fahrradschloss, which consists of a lockable metal pin. It prevents a rotation of the Rades in the final condition. Putting locks cannot prevent a theft by carrying away the bicycle.
Buegel lock
A buegel lock is a bicycle lock, which consists of a usually flexible metal ring, which is led by the spokes and the frameworks. Since this handle can be wound also around firm of objects, it is possible with a buegelschloss to secure bicycles also against carrying off. Buegelschloesser offer a higher protection from thefts. In contrast to putting locks buegelschloesser are used also as zahlenschloesser.
Chain lock
A chain lock is a lockable chain. A chain lock is like a buegel lock available as key or number lock. Chain locks are also used for securing other transportable things from theft.
