Preventing Theft

Thieves will steal an entire bicycle or they may steal parts or items attached to the bike that are not securely fastened:

Always lock the frame AND both wheels to a bike rack or immovable object (two locks is better than one). If you only lock one wheel, your bicycle can be quickly detached and carried away.
Always lock your bike when it is left unattended, even if it is for a short period of time.
Always keep your bicycle locked, even in a garage or on a porch.
If you don't need a quick release seat and wheels, replace them with standard bolts. If you do want quick release items, take them with you or lock them to your frame.
Take lights, mirrors, bags and panniers with you, along with anything else that is not securely fastened.
Consider riding an inexpensive bicycle for everyday use and short trips.
