Pedal cycles

This is how you can help protect your cycle:

Record and register it – Record as many details about the bike as possible, including the make, model, size, colour, frame number, and any distinguishing marks or features, and register it on a national cycle database. This will help police recover and restore the bike to its rightful owner.
Security mark it – Use a forensic asset marking or etching kit. This will provide a visual deterrent and help with restoring the bike to its rightful owner.
Use an SBD approved, high security rated lock – Secure the cycle as close to the parking stand as possible. Lock the frame and wheels to the stand, and keep the locks off the floor, as this makes them more vulnerable to attack. Quick-release wheels and saddles are easily stolen.
Store in a garage or substantial locked shed, secured to a strong anchor – Even when stored inside, chain cycles to a ground or wall anchor. Garden sheds can easily be broken into – see advice on shed security.
