If you’ve ever fumbled with your bicycle lock with cold fingers, you’ll understand the merit of key-less fingerprint operated security. The Grasp lock combines the world’s smallest optical fingerprint sensor with hardened steel alloy to create a fuss-free alternative to conventional locks.
The problem for British cyclists hoping to use the lock in conjunction with a cycle insurance policy is that it has yet to pass the Sold Secure testing process. Without this accreditation, the insurance against theft from a public place is likely to be void.
The Grasp Lock allows you to give access to family and friends using the app. Once the setup is complete, you can add up to 20 fingerprints to the lock. User access can be removed from the manage page, and you can also set time intervals for when others have access to your lock.
The ethical choice
The ETA was established in 1990 as an ethical provider of green, reliable travel services. Over 30 years on, we continue to offer cycle insurance , breakdown cover and mobility scooter insurance while putting concern for the environment at the heart of all we do.
The Good Shopping Guide judges us to be the UK’s most ethical provider.

I’m not putting my fingerprint on anything that talks to the Internet.
A password can be reset, credit cards cancelled but you can’t change your fingerprints.
