Keep your bike safe!
Lock it like a pro.
Use Strong Locks
A dependable lock setup is the best way to stop thieves before they start.
- U‑lock + cable: Highest deterrence for most environments
- Hardened steel chains: Ideal for long stops
- Two‑lock method: Forces thieves to use multiple tools
Secure the Most Targeted Parts
Thieves go for the easiest and most valuable components, so make sure the key parts are protected.
- Frame + rear wheel: The top recommended lock point
- Front wheel: Use a cable or second lock
- Quick‑release parts: Remove or replace with security skewers
Choose Safe Locking Locations
Where you lock your bike can matter just as much as how you lock it.
- Official bike racks: Avoid signposts or anything removable
- High‑visibility areas: Near entrances, cameras, and foot traffic
- Well‑lit zones: Reduces overnight theft
Lock It the Right Way
A few simple locking techniques can make your bike dramatically harder to steal.
- Fill the U‑lock: Less space = harder to pry
- Keep lock off the ground: Prevents leverage attacks
- Angle keyhole down: Makes tampering harder
Help Police Help You
Take a moment to document your bike. It can make recovery much more likely if it’s ever stolen.
- Record your serial number: Essential for recovery
- Register your bike: Increases return rates
- Photograph your bike: Frame, components, unique marks
