>From the comments made by my customers and the bikeing community
this year I felt I had to tell you the hard facts about keeping
your loved one safe. The fact is over 36,000 bikes are stolen in
the UK ever year, 80% of these from home (have you wondered why
you have a garage clause on your insurance?). When your bikes at
home Fit a ground anchor at home and an approved chain, dont
think putting your car in front of the garage helps either. Ive
had so many people telling me that thieves have dragged the bike
over the car and this just adds insult to injury. Don't leave
your keys in an easy to find place in the house either, this is
becoming more popular for stealing cars too. Try not to leave
your garage open for more than you have to, more and more
thieves are "casing" your property and bikes are being stolen to
order. When returning home have a quick look who is behind you
etc, im not saying to take a different route home every day and
all that spy stuff but bikes are being followed. When your out
and about Disclocks are useless, white van man is just going to
pick the bike up, disclocks only stop the opportunist thief from
pushing your bike away. Long shackle "U" locks are ok but
remember to lock the bike to something. A cable that you can
loop around a lamppost of similar is the best bet, high security
chains can be heavy to carry constantly and a cable type is much
lighter. Consider getting an additional chain for say outside
work and just leave it outside so you don't have to carry it.
Alarms Alarms I think come into the "tree falling in the woods"
category, if there is no one to hear it what's the point. Even
when people do hear the alarm it gets ignored. Consider fitting
a paging alarm, these are getting cheaper all the time. Talking
alarms are better than sirens, people tend to listen more a
human voice. I hope this has given you food for thought and if
you have any questions or just need some advice, contact me via
