Default Re: Bike security

Some thoughts:

You cannot stop your bike being stolen. I know that sounds defeatist, but I know of bikes that have been stolen that were secured to a tree with an Almax chain & lock. God alone knows what they used to get through it, but nothing is impervious.

What you can do is not leave it unlocked in plain sight. Make it awkward. Out of sight out of mind, if people cant see it they don't get ideas about nicking it. Something that stops it being moved is worth more than something that beeps as it is being moved. A decent chain and ground anchor are a good shout. Some of the alarmed disc locks are quite good.
