Bike Theft
Hi All,
As I will soon be buying a new bike for commute and recreation I have been doing lots of research around accessories, including bike locks for security.
I am now aware that you need a good D lock or two, and that cables are basically useless when it comes to theft. I have also researched the best way to lock your bike.
From there I have decided to watch footage of bike thefts on Youtube... I have become quite dismayed and now realise that if you leave your bike anywhere locked up and unattended for a period of time, it is going to get stolen. These guys are getting around with bolt cutters and portable grinders! And the worst thing is they are doing it in broad daylight and people just walk on by not wanting to get involved. Bystander effect eh!
I work in Corrections, so my bike should be pretty safe at work although I will still lock it. What I'm more concerned about is locking up for 30 mins in town running errands, or outside the grocery store picking up a few things.
So what do most people who own a decent bike do? Just not get off it when out?
