SECURITY
You just bought a new bicycle! Don't lose it. It is advisable that
the following steps be taken to prepare for and help prevent
possible theft:
• Maintain a record of the bicycle's serial number, generally
located on the frame underneath the bottom bracket.
Figure 5.5
• Register the bicycle with the local police and/or bicycle
registry.
• Invest in a high quality bicycle lock that will resist hacksaws
and bolt cutters.
• Always lock your bicycle to an immovable object if it is left
unattended. Keep in mind that individual parts of a bicycle
may be stolen. Most commonly, if you lock just a wheel or just
the frame, other parts may be removed from the bicycle.
Although it is impossible to lock all the parts, it is suggested
to lock the major components if possible. Figure 5.6
• Use a lock that is long enough to lock the frame and both
wheels if possible. Some models with quick-release front
wheels allow the front wheel to be placed beside the frame
so a smaller lock can be used to lock all 3 components.
• Be aware that a quick-release seat post can be stolen. It is
recommended to remove the seat post and saddle and carry
it with you if you believe that this is a risk.
