Have you ever stopped to lock up your bike at a bike rack and you see that one bike that isn't lock up, there's usually is at least one at each bike rack. My question is: What were they thinking when they left their bike? When you lock up your bike, you want your bike to be more secure than the bike next to you. If you think like a thief, and say, "would i want to steal this one that isn't locked up or with a weak lock, or would i want to struggle to get that bike with the hefty steel lock, or a U-Lock. Someone that is going to be stealing a bike is going to wanna spend very little effort to get it, and if your bike is locked up with a heavy duty lock or a U-Lock, they are going to look right past it, but if you have a wimpy lock rapped around the frame or just your wheel, they can just snip that lock right off. If you have Quick release wheels and Seat, make sure that you put your lock through your wheels, and take you seat with you. People have been known to just steal parts off bikes and those are the first things to go.
Locks can range from: $15.00 to almost $50.00, but some of the more expensive locks may not be the best ones to use, on some of the locks on their packaging they will have a rating on strength of the lock, if you can look for locks that have that on it, with a 4 or a 5.
Now that you know a little more about locking your bike, make sure your not the victim of bike theft.
Keep on Biking....
