Staying one step ahead of bike thieves

If you're a summer cyclist, spring is a capricious season with weather that feels like a never-ending series of false starts. To guarantee you're ready to go once the sun finally makes an appearance, we're giving away a good quality bike lock. After all, thieves don't care whether you're a fair weather rider who pootles to the shops or a seasoned year-round cycle commuter.

To help keep cyclists one step ahead of bike thieves, a new class of cycle lock has recently been recognised. Sold Secure, the independent organisation that tests and grades locks, has added Diamond to its existing Gold, Silver and Bronze ratings.

At a smidge over 1kg, the Hiplok DX is one of most lightweight diamond-rated locks and its distinctive clip system makes it easier to carry than the average lock.
