This is from 2017, so there may be better locks available today. Check YouTube for reviews by "The Lock Picking Lawyer" and "Bosnian Bill".

Since I'm always on for approaching a problem from a different angle...
Buy a horrible, cheap-ass bike that you hate, and lock it up with the cheapest lock you can find.

Just listen to Hal as he grades bike locking in NYC.
A few years old but more than relevant.

every lock has a picker .......... don't fret the dedicated pro thief, if he wants your bike he'll get it ..... any $25-50 U lock will deter all but the pros
