Firebox offers "virtually" pick-proof Bike Cuffs

Handcuff-style security for your cycle

3 March 2008 13:17 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

At £80, this bike security solution is not cheap, but with a lifetime guarantee and a Silver Rating award from Police-approved security assessors, Sold Secure, it could save you money on your insurance, let alone the cost of replacing your bike.

The heavy-duty cuffs attach around the fork and disc rotor you don't have to faff around taking off your wheel for full lockdown.

You don't even need to use the keys to secure your bike, just click the cuffs using the integrated buttons and away you go - hopefully safe in the knowledge your bike will still be there when you get back.

Thanks to a hardened pivot link, leverage won't work to defeat the cuffs while the heat-treated, patented lock core is described as "virtually" pick-proof. There's nothing virtual about the price - £79.95 - available now.
