Tips on How to Lock Your Bike
First, keep in mind these rules:


Always lock your bike no matter how briefly you plan to leave it unattended.
Seek out well-lit public spaces, ideally in an area with video surveillance, and lock it to an immovable object.
For tips on choosing a sturdy bike lock, read the REI Expert Advice article,
Single-Lock Method




Remove the front wheel of your bike or make sure your lock includes the wheel (the rim, not the spokes) as well as the
bike frame.
Lock your bike to a fixed object that cannot be easily broken, cut or removed. Some thieves go so far as to remove bolts
from a signpost, lift it out of the ground and slip off the lock.
Position the key entry so it faces the ground.
Position your lock as high above the ground as possible to make it harder for a thief to find leverage.
Remove unsecured bike parts, such as the seat, lights or bags.
Multiple-Lock Method
 Use a U-lock or chain lock in conjunction with a cable lock. Chances are a thief will see 2
locks and move on to another victim.
 Set up the U-lock around your front (or rear) tire, frame and some fixed object.
Then snake the cable through your rear (or front) wheel, saddle rails, frame and the U-lock.
Bike Lock Tips









For maximum deterrence, remove your front wheel and use a medium to large U-lock to secure front wheel, rear wheel
and frame to a fixed object.
Choose a lock that leaves as little space as possible between the lock and the bike. A small space means thieves can't use
leverage to break off your lock.
Mark your bike and take a photo of it for future identification. Then register or license your bike at the local lawenforcement office. This process may involve a fee.
Take advantage of manufacturer theft-protection warranties by completing the paperwork.
Don't lock your bike through a chain-link fence—anyone with a set of wire cutters can easily snip the fence and steal your
bike. Don't lock your bike to wooden railings—thieves can break those, too.
Don't park your bike in dark alleys. Instead, select highly visible locations such as busy streets or in front of stores. Thieves
are less likely to bother with your bike if it's locked out in the open.
Avoid locking your bike in the same spot each day. Thieves "case" behavior patterns and thrive on predictability.
Lock your bike next to other bikes whenever possible.
Keep an extra key to your lock (or the number to a combination lock) in a safe place.
