INVEST IN A CAMERA AND INSURANCE

A camera will deter anyone who’s thinking about stealing a bike. CCTV footage can be used to identify criminals and stolen goods. It’s also a way of alerting the public to the incident and may trigger memories from witnesses with useful information. As some bikes have become very expensive, it would be a good idea to take on bicycle insurance, and although not compulsory, it provides bike owners with that added peace of mind. Your home contents insurance policy might cover theft or vandalism (check the policy details to find out). However, your bike may not be covered when riding or if you secure it to a public rack or shelter. Always read the terms and conditions so you can make an informed decision.
