How To Lock A Bike

by Levi Bloom

Here's a quick how-to guide to locking your bike so it doesn't get stolen.

1. Get a lock

2. Check out the pictures of correctly locked bikes.

3. Put the lock through the bike frame, the rear wheel, and/or the front wheel.

You may want to take all quick release parts with you, especially if you have a $100+ saddle.

 

Then what?

Practice locking your bike to various objects, and then try to steal it. You don't need to carry bolt cutters, but look at your bike and see if you could fanangle a way to steal it. If you think you could, lock it a different way!
