How to Properly Carry and Transport a U-Lock?

Proper Carrying and Transporting Methods for U-Lock

1. Backpack Carrying

Using a dedicated bicycle backpack or waterproof backpack, place the U-Lock in the back pocket. This distributes weight and prevents damage to the lock body during cycling.

2. Rear-mounted on frame

Install a dedicated hook on the bicycle's rear fork or rear rack to hang the U-Lock at the rear of the frame. This makes it easy to access and prevents the lock from directly contacting the wheel and causing scratches.

3. Handlebar bag or handlebar pouch

Use a handlebar bag to store the U-Lock. The lock moves with the handlebars, suitable for long-distance riding or scenarios requiring frequent lock removal.

4. Shipping case and shockproof packaging

For long-distance transport (such as express delivery or boxed transport), it is recommended to use a rigid plastic or metal shipping case filled with foam or shockproof padding to prevent impacts, collisions, or scratches during handling.
