  • Bicycle Lock-up - Road Bike

  1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOCK. The level of security you need depends on where you are leaving your bike, and for how long.
  2. ALWAYS LOCK YOUR BIKE to a solid object that it cannot be lifted over.
  3. LOCK YOUR BIKE in a well lit area with high foot traffic.
  4. MAKE SURE what you lock your bike to cannot be cut.
  5. LOCK ACCORDING TO VALUE frame first, then back wheel, and finally front wheel.
  6. GET A TIGHT FIT! The less room inside of the u-lock or chain, the more difficult it will be for thieves to use their tools.
  7. POSITION YOUR LOCK off the ground with the keyhole facing down.

VIDEOS - PROPER LOCK-UP - U-LOCK & CHAIN:

Check out our videos on how to properly lock up your bike with either a U-Lock or a chain.

FRAME ONLY U-LOCK OR CHAIN:

There May Be An Instance Where Due To An Oddly Shaped Locking Structure, The Size Of Your Lock, Or The Size Of Your Bike, You Are Limited In What You Are Able To Capture In Your Lock-Up. In This Case The Frame Should Be The Priority Of The Lock-Up.

Frame AND REAR WHEEL u-lock OR CHAIN:

Much better than the Frame-Only Lock-Up, in this scenario you are able to capture the frame, rear wheel, and the immovable object all within the lock.

FRAME, REAR, AND FRONT WHEEL U-LOCK AND CABLE:

This is a very popoular locking method which uses the u-lock to capture the frame, rear wheel, and immovable object, and the u-lock shackel also acts as an anchor for the double looped cable that captures the front wheel.

FRAME REAR AND FRONT WHEEL TWO U-LOCK METHOD:

This method is highly effective and uses two, typically primary locks, either chains, u-locks, or a combination of the two. One of the locks secures the rear wheel and the frame to the immovable object, while the other lock secures the front wheel to the frame.
