Even cheap bikes are being stolen by crackheads, it is not a deterrent.
I recently brought a 4500€ e-mountain bike, and my solutions are :
- a 20/20 motorcycle U-lock from Abus
- a 15/15 bike folding lock with a vibration alarm from Abus
- a LoRaWan GPS and movement/vibration tracker hidden in the bike
- only keeping it in my secure parking at work, inside my house or a few minutes at the grocery market.
- agumonkey 6y agoI sadly lost my old bike due to this thinking: - cheapo 90s brand - ugly design / color - no seat - missing one pedal - low end shimano shifter (manual lever above handlebar) - rust, broken brake handles ps: how is the vibration alarm working ?
- wasdfff 6y agoI think the best solution is to assume theft. Even with the GPS position, not much you or law enforcement will do once its in a homeless encampment with 20 other bikes. Buy a cheap lock to deter walking off with the bike, and buy insurance. I pay $8 a month and if my $1k of bike is stolen, I pay nothing more to get a brand new one.
