OTTOLOCK Sidekick Compact U-Lock - Heavy Duty Anti Theft Bicycle U-Lock with Keys, Silicone-Coated, Bike Accessories, Black

Cool and sturdy little lock. Useful for locking your tire rims to the frame. This is a great lock, but if you do not have access to bicycle racks or thinner poles, I would suggest that you purchase a larger lock. This one is very small and may pose a problem with those who live in cities where locking options are sparse or bicycle unfriendly.

I bought one of these in may 2020 to use along with another small Krypnonite mini on a beater bike in NYC. I dont leave my bike out at night bcz thats a big NO NO here in the city, but ive left it locked up for most of the day at times & this one worked perfectly as an additional security. My beater recently died (RIP my friend) & I now have a somewhat nicer bike with more expensive components on it so Im upgrading my locking game however I will still also use this lock which is STILL functioning perfectly -I never had an issue with it, at this point the rubber coating is tearing off in the u area but other than that is still going strong. Id definitely recommend as an extra backup lock.

Sturdy Should be wider

Great value for a sturdy lock. This lock is small and easy to carry on my bike when commuting to school. It is easy to open and is very secure.

I'd buy it again.

Check the camera m: The thief sawed the lock on the store front and left without breaking it, thank God.

Not big enough to go thru front tire and rack on my bike, but I dont need that. Perfect lightweight size for riding without being weighed down.

Really great sturdy lock, but not very wide, so doesn’t allow the bike to latch onto anything more then 3 inches from the bike. Therefore, if the rack or pole is wider, this allows zero clearance to wrap around it. It’s solid though. .
