Most bike thefts are due to unlocked or improperly locked bikes. Following these tips will help prevent your bike from being stolen:
- Never leave your bike unlocked, not even for a second.
- Always use a high quality U-lock or chain. For added security, use both.
- Always
lock the frame and front wheel to either a rack or pole
(see illustration 1). - For extra security remove the front wheel and lock it with the frame and rear wheel (see illustration 2).
- Note: Some bike locks with cylindrical keys may be opened with a pen or similiar object. Check with your local bike shop to determine the need to upgrade or replace your lock.
