locking procedure check
(sh.itjust.works)
I just recently got into using a bike for commuting and I was wondering if this is a good way to secure my bike? I know, previously, people would recommend only needing to lock the back tire to a solid object, but I’ve seen videos of people easily cutting the back tire, breaking it and taking the frame/front tire. My method of locking is sort of similar, except I do lock around the splash guard. If this isn’t very secure, I’d have to get a longer ulock or chain, because there doesn’t appear to be an easy way for me to lock around the back tire, frame and solid object with my current ulock. Any suggestions are appreciated.
As has been mentioned, use your U lock to lock the frame. If you can include the wheel and the frame that's best but often needs a big U lock.
I recommend purchasing wheel security devices such as pinheads or pitlocks and then you don't really need to worry about locking your wheels so much
Il be thinking about buying some pinheads, thank you
