Top Cycle Security Advice

1. Use two high‑quality locks

D‑lock + reinforced chain/cable is the recommended combination.

Look for Sold Secure Gold or Diamond rated locks.

2. Lock the frame and both wheels

Secure the frame to an immovable object.

If possible, remove the front wheel and lock it together with the frame and rear wheel.

3. Choose the right location

Park in well‑lit, busy, CCTV‑covered areas.

Avoid isolated cycle racks or locations that allow someone to work unseen.

4. Make the bike less attractive

Use a bike marking kit (often free via local policing teams).

Record the frame number.

BikeRegister (UK national database)

Add a tamper-proof sticker when registered.
