I already have a decent lock that I use if locking my bike up in public but I'm looking for a super lightweight lock to use when I park my bike at work. It's private cycle storage and a security guard is normally hanging out with a full view so I need something that will stop somebody just walking off with the bike but I don't need to protect against angle grinders.

Any recommendations?

I use a hiplok when I'm around town, I live in a quiet town so like you said just need a bit of protection against opportunists. Got mine via Amazon. Have you concidered using a regular lock and just leaving it attached somewhere at work?

Thanks!

The cycle racks are already a mess of abandoned locks and I don't want to contribute. There was talk of a lock store (essentially just a pole) being added near the racks to tidy the place up. If they ever install that I'll probably get a normal lock.

Thanks for recommendation! The hiplok looks like a great fit for what I need.
