€169 --Jeebus! My bike didn't even cost that much.

Then you don't need this lock for your bike. - Cptn Obvious

Not neccessarily, it depends on the environment. In some places even bikes in the sub 160€ range are at danger of being stolen.

I think you'd want a tetanus shot just by looking at my girlfriends bike with too much insistence.

We still lock it with a chain but I guess that is a good deterrent as there is always a nicer bike that looks more worth the effort on the same rack.
