Cable Bike Lock 50cm

A cable bike lock is a flexible cable with a lock that fastens a bike to a rack, post or railing. This 50cm length is short and simple, and it suits quick stops rather than long stays.

What a 50cm Cable Bike Lock Is Used For

A 50cm cable bike lock is a compact length that you loop around a frame and a fixed object. Because the cable is short, it takes up little room in a bag or basket.

  • Locking a bike to a rack while you pop into a shop
  • Securing a bike wheel to the frame
  • Fastening a helmet to the bike
  • Locking a scooter or pushchair to a rail
  • Keeping a second bike attached to the first

Is 50cm Long Enough?

A 50cm cable works best with slim bike racks, posts and railings. It will not go around a wide lamp post or a thick fence. Think about where you usually park before you choose this length. If you often lock up to larger objects, a longer cable may suit you better.

Using a Cable Lock Sensibly

A cable lock is a flexible lock that is easy to carry and quick to use. It is usually easier to cut than a rigid D-lock. For that reason, many cyclists use a cable lock for short stops and in busy, well-lit places. Some also use one as a second lock alongside a stronger lock.

Thread the cable through the frame and, where you can, through a wheel too. Then loop it around something fixed and lock it. Keep the cable off the ground when possible, as this makes it harder to work on.

Cable Bike Lock FAQ

Is a cable bike lock as secure as a D-lock?

No, a cable lock is generally easier to cut than a D-lock. It suits short stops and low-risk places, or it can be added as a second lock.

Can I use a 50cm cable lock to lock a wheel?

Yes, a cable lock is often used to fasten a wheel to the frame. The short length is enough to loop through a wheel and the frame together.

Will a 50cm cable fit around a lamp post?

Probably not. Most lamp posts are too wide for a cable this short, so it works better with slim racks, posts and railings.

Add this 50cm cable bike lock to your basket for quick stops on your next ride.

Disclaimer

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
