How can I make sure that my bicycle is not stolen? I use two locks but have lost two bikes.? by the sounds of your user name you live in London then ? I presume you have been using the coil locks for easier transporting...well the best type of lock I know is th U or D lock, its solid and virtually fail safe. Otherwise leave your bike at home wherever possible, if you use it for work ask if you can secure it indoors, and don't take it anywhere that you can not secure it indoors if possible. Move away from the sh*thole you stay in or near at the moment Thieves are smart, if there is a will there is a way to steal something. I never lock my car doors, would rather have them steal my radio than break windows and locks to get in, it would cost more in the long run. Short of bringing your bike in the house at night, there really is not an option, unless there is some type of alarm system to put on a bike, but a theif would learn how to disable it. Know someone with a motorcycle that rolled it into his kitchen every night. I am the same as you, i've had 2 bikes stolen, and one was at 5.00 a m on Boxing day morning and that had 3 locks and chains attached. The old adages are still the best in this case Out of sight out of mind. In other words keep your bike indoors even if it means taking the wheels off (quick release are good) good luck Try to put a wing nut by the handle bar, for easy on and off, and take the handle bar with you. Good luck. Stick some old bits of rubber tubing with broken glass attached to the undersides over your handle bars at night. The first person to grab your bike will end up down the hospital. My whole house is filled with traps like that. I see has i am out and about some guys take the front wheel off,they unlock the wheel or wheels with butter fly nuts and clamp whats left with a D clamp.Dont forget to take wheel with you if pos.D clamp is good |
