- Always use a good quality chain or D lock in towns and cities.
- Lock your bike in the most visible and populated area possible – not down a dark alleyway!
- Make sure what you’re locking to is secure! Wire fences or rusted railings can easily be cut through.
- When possible, position your lock so it is awkward for a thief to attach – the higher a chain lock is from the ground, the more secure it will be for example.
- Lock, or take with you, anything that can easily be removed – e.g. lights, luggage or quick release wheels & saddles.
- Insure and register your bike. Make it easily identifiable.
- Take your lock with you whenever you ride!
