Bike Theft Prevention Information

 

Remember this: Even when locked, your bike may still be stolen.

(Just a few facts I found at the National Bike Registry website.)

It's startling, but true. Bike theft does happen.

Browse the menu below for bike theft prevention information. Learn how to (and how not to) lock your bike, what lock to use, and how to get it back if it is stolen.
