According to Police statistics, 50% of bikes are stolen by the opportunist or “Joy-rider�. Incredibly, they also estimate that 50% of riders do not lock their machines. Reduce the risk of theft by following these simple steps;
• Buy the best lock you can afford and always use it • Alarms can be very effective but they are only really effective used with a lock • If you have a garage, always use it and remember to lock the bike and set the alarm - otherwise cover your bike when outside • When parking your bike try to avoid using the same parking spot every day and lock your bike to a secure immovable object • Never leave your lock resting on the ground and always lock it as tight to your bike as possible - this makes it much more difficult for thieves to attack • Remember to maintain your lock. Keep it free from dirt, and oil moving parts regularly. If your lock stops working, you won’t be able to lock your bike
