We love our bikes, and sadly so do other people – making them a prime candidate for theft.
Lock It
Locking your bike is the best way to secure it – we sell locks at the Cycle Hub and can advise you on the best one for your bike.
We always advise that you lock the frame not just the wheels, and if you can, lock the frame with a sturdy D-Lock and then use another chain to lock the wheels to that.
Register it
Register your frame number on a national bike registration database. The frame number is usually found underneath the bike between the pedals or where the back wheel slots in. If your bike is ever stolen and recovered by the police, it can be traced back to you.
Mark it
Get your bike security marked. It’s a highly effective, visible deterrent to bike thieves. They know that if they are caught with a registered bike, the owner can be traced and they will be arrested.
