Locking just a wheel is a rookie mistake, of course! Always wrap it around the frame and something that is solidly rooted in the ground.
It's just that even all that isn't always good enough if the homeless guy or professional bike thief has a power-cutter thingy.
- gozur88 9y agoMy sister locked her bike to a pole through the frame in San Diego. When she came back literally every other part was gone, and the frame remained locked to the pole. They even took the cranks, the forks, and the brake cables. Who steals brake cables?
- jacquesm 9y agoThe people who steal a frame somewhere else. Otherwise they can not finish their bike...
- collyw 9y agoI had the quick release clamp stolen on mine (after taking the seat off). Twice in one week, because i happened to have a spare. And the window wipers from my car one time.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoI saw a bike chained to something once, little foldable bike, with the saddle missing. It dawned on me later that the owner probably took it with him, to make it less attractive to be stolen.
- mschuster91 9y agoYeah I left my bike at work and someone decided he had more use for my rear lights than me. Who steals 5€ lights?!
- pmontra 9y agoSomebody who needs it and has a criminal attitude. It's 5 Euros for free, like a banknote on the sidewalk.
- cakedoggie 9y agoAlso use 2 different locks, like dLock and a cable lock.
