u-lock
Curved bicycle fastener
A u-lock is a bicycle lock shaped like the letter U, with a rigid curved shackle that fits into a straight crossbar.
The design resists cutting and prying better than cable locks, making u-locks the standard choice for securing bikes in urban areas: I always carry a u-lock when I ride downtown.
