Wearable bike locks are designed to be carried comfortably on the body while riding. Wearable chains and flexible locks keep your frame mounts and bags free, giving commuters and everyday cyclists a convenient way to take meaningful security on every journey.
Why Choose a Wearable Bike Lock?
Carrying a lock around the waist or over the shoulder can be more practical than fitting a bulky bracket to the bike, particularly on compact frames or bikes with limited mounting space. Wearable designs can also provide useful reach around larger stands and posts. Security varies by model, with options available at different Sold Secure ratings.
What to Look for in a Wearable Lock
- Security rating: Match the exact model's Sold Secure rating to the bike's value, parking location and any insurance requirements.
- Fit and comfort: Check the wearable size range over your normal riding clothing and consider weight distribution on longer journeys.
- Safety features: Use only locks specifically designed to be worn and check for an appropriate quick-release or non-locking wearable fastening where provided.
- Locking reach: Choose a length that works with your regular cycle stands without adding more weight than you are comfortable carrying.
Do not improvise by locking an ordinary chain around your body while riding; choose a purpose-designed wearable system and follow its instructions. Compare wearable locks with D-locks, chains and folding designs in our Bike Lock Buyer's Guide.
