New to this forum and looking for a folding bike. but i definitely think that having 2 different sets of lock that's high quality and difficulty to cut and break is a must, especially in the city. whenever i ride my old beatup bike, there's a reason why i don't see any folders parked and locked in front of a bike rack. from what i read, it's just a thief magnet. another thief deterrent is to have store security keep an eye on your bike if possible for that short time. when i buy a folder (still looking for a good used affordable one that's 9 speed) i would probably buy a u-lock and a compact folding lock
i once read a review of a folding bike where the guy wrote something like, folding bikes is just a rental until a thief can steal it"
