1. Always lock your bike up well, even if it’s just for a moment.
When you are at home lock it up in the garage or storeroom and don’t leave the keys lying around.
When you are in the street look for the most popular parking spaces so that the bike will be in full view and less vulnerable.
2. Use a good lock. Use one or two hard steel “U” locks or similar. Spiral or cable locks can be used to block the saddle and the wheels.
3. Make sure the bike is in good condition: check the tyres, brakes and lights.
4. If you buy a second hand bike ask to see the original bill. It may have been stolen.
