Bosvision Cable Combination Padlock for Bike, Ski Equipment, Stroller with 90cm / 2.4mm (Diameter) Steel Retractable Cable

I bought this cable lock for when I ride and stop for a coffee so I don't leave the bike unatended . It is light enough to carry in my cycling jersey in the back pocket and it is easy to use. The cable locks easyly and the numbers in the combination are easy to operate even with gloves and easy to see as well. The pricing is good and it was delivered on time and safely. I am happy with the purchase but be aware, this is not a long term safery device, it is only good to stop someone getting on the bike and riding away with it. If you leave it unattended for too long it is not going to stop someone from stealing your bike as I guess the cable can be snapped with not much effort if the right tool is used.

Great product Does the job works well Easy to use

Reassuring (and for the price of a few coffees!) to lock your bike at coffee stops - vs others that dont. Where I often ride and stop after is a busy London park cafe; quite a few nice bikes have vanished from here over the years just being picked up and ridden away while owners chatter. Lite to carry, I dont even notice it. The lock itself is easy enough to use - just DONT FORGET the combination number you set! There are few buttons - to recoil the cable, to unlock, and another...just press away until your thing happens! Once unlocked and cable undone/retracted, you can turn the combo dials back to random numbers, and still lock again by pushing the shackle end in when you next stop (so your combo number can remain out of sight, until the next unlocking). The cable on this is long enough, a shorter on would provide a similar function for the purpose (not trying to capture wheels etc) but good to have the option in case locking around larger objects or a few bikes together. Yes pliers would chop the cable, but this is only designed to prevent opportunistic chancers walking off with stuff - I find highly reassuring, rather than constantly glancing up/over shoulder etc.

Perfect for coffee stops and convenience shopping. At the very least, it's something of a deterrent against a 'Ride away'. Small and lightweight and easily fitted in a pocket or small bag. As other posters have said, certainly not something that would stop a determined thief but enough of a visual and physical lock to keep the bicycle falling prey to joyriders. (The toilet roll in the picture is only used as a visual guide to show the size of the lock).

Great value an easy to use for cafe stops. Not suitable for leaving a bike unattended for a long time, but that's not what it was designed for. Nice and light and the orange colour is a nice obvious deterrrent.

This retractable lock offers little to no security whatsoever. Please DO NOT buy! I purchased this lock to add some extra security for my kayak by locking it to the wall bracket, thankfully the kayak is already inside a locked garage. This “lock” offers little to zero security. The code mechanism jammed today and I was unable to unlock it with the combination. I managed to break the lock open within 5 seconds by simply grasping the entire unit and turning it which caused the plastic to snap in several places. The lock was so easy to break open by just turning it and it look very little effort or force on my part, to be able to break in to a lock in under 5 seconds just shows how poor quality it is. Do not purchase this lock, it offers no security for your belongings! I will be contacting the seller to arrange a full refund for their substandard goods.

Lock was easy to set up and works great. Small enough to put in the pocket and am using it as a deterrent for my scooter when I go into a shop I want to ensure that it will be there when I get back

It works fine - easy to use. No substitute for a good quality U-lock, but ok for short stops when your bike remains in sight. If someone is determined to take your bike, this won't prevent them from doing so - but it might delay them long enough that you can stop them yourself.
