Crime Prevention Advice - Bike and Tool Safety

Secure your bike as close to the stand as possible. Try not to leave any slack chain or lock on the ground, this gives a thief a base to work on.

Take parts that are easy to remove with you. For example, saddles and wheels. Or use locking skewers, which can increase security by securing the bike's components to the frame permanently, making it difficult for thieves to steal parts such as saddle or wheels. 

Lock your bike at recognised secure cycle parking. It should be well lit and covered by CCTV, overlooked by buildings and with plenty of passers-by. be aware as bikes do get stolen from inside the home, communal hallways, gardens and sheds.

 If your bike has been stolen, contact the police. Give them your frame number, BikeRegister number, photo and any other details. You can also register your bike with its frame number retrospectively as stolen on BikeRegister
