How to lock up your bike

Submitted by Brent Hugh on Wed, 06/09/2004 - 6:04pm
BikeTracks has an interesting article on how to keep your bike from getting stolen:
Q: What is the number one reason why one bike is stolen over another?

A: Availability! Thieves steal bikes because they are easy to swipe, not because they’re expensive or cool. When you don’t lock your bike – even for a couple of minutes – it’s an advertisement to thieves: "This bike now available for stealing!!!"
