Hiplok: Sold Secure silver cycle security
February 14, 2025
Looking for a versatile, heavy-duty bike lock that keeps your bikes safe while offering the practicality of a wearable design? Look no further - the Hiplok Homie Silver does exactly that. Inspired by bike couriers who casually sling chain locks around their waists or over their shoulder, this design combines security with convenience.
Crafted from 8mm hardened steel, the Hiplok Homie is built to withstand determined theft attempts and it has the Sold Secure silver rating to prove it. At 2.6kg it's hardly light, but the 1.2m length makes it perfect for locking multiple bikes, or for securing to awkward objects.
It's kind to your bike too. One of the standout features is its toughened nylon sleeve, which not only protects the chain but prevents scratches on your bike frame. Plus, the lock comes with three coded replaceable keys - no more panicking if you lose one. And for added reassurance, Hiplok offers a lifetime warranty when registered within 30 days of purchase.

Bicycle breakdowns
It's an unfortunate fact of life; bicycles can break down. Even the shortest journey comes to an abrupt halt if you can't fix a flat tyre, broken chain or buckled wheel at the roadside. It's why over 30 years ago we launched Cycle Rescue - the UK's first breakdown cover for bicycles.
ETA Cycle Rescue covers e-bikes, too. If you ride a road-legal electric bicycle, we’ll cover it against mechanical faults, punctures or a flat battery.
How does Cycle Rescue cover work?
If you suffer a breakdown (including punctures, or even a flat e-bike battery) while out cycling, or are unable to continue due to an injury, our 24-hour Cycle Rescue team is on hand to arrange transport for you and your bicycle to a safe location.
Cycle Rescue costs only £24 per year with no hidden extras to pay if your bicycle suffers a breakdown.
