Good Value Mini U-Lock

"This is a good mini U-lock at an affordable price. Not as technically theft proof as the more expensive Kryptonite, the advantage of this mini U is it prevents the most common tactics of thieves.

"First off, I really like the size. I think it would be very difficult to break, and there is a good warranty to back that up.
