Keeping your Bicycle Safe

[Image: Preventing Crime]

Bicycles are a popular target with thieves, because they can easily be sold. Your bicycle should be locked whenever you leave it. Mark the frame with your postcode. This will help the police get it back to you, if they find it.

  • Record all your bike's details, so that if it is stolen and then recovered, the police will be able to match it to the description.
  • The best kind of bicycle locks are made of a loop of solid metal. Chains may deter casual thieves, but they can be easily cut with the right equipment.
  • Always chain your bike to something solid, like a lamp-post or railings. If you have quick release wheels, take off the front wheel and chain it to the frame and back wheel.
