I can top that: off white bike seat with a “gifted” used chewing gum on it : pants destroyed ;) you only realize it at first dismount;) No light colored seats ever again.
My cousin told me in NYC (Spanish Harlem) the scam when you lock a bike up is thieves will put a lock on your bike so you can’t take it, then in the middle of the night, cut your lock off and take the bike. There is always ways to beat a lock, but something is better than nothing. That said, expensive vs cheap locks aren’t a huge step up. (See the lock picking lawyer and his reviews of bike locks/chains).
Luckily those scams are practically unheard of in my region, because despite having a complicated relationship with the police here, people are serious about their bikes and would just call the cops.
Me being from Barcelona, a city where petty theft is the number one issue, I've never gotten my bike stolen. And it's a really nice one. Very big since I'm a tall person, blue and black, with good add-ons etc. The thing is that I always bring it with me wherever I go. It doesn't matter the house, type of building or business. It will go in alongside me. Are you a doctor, a massage therapist or a gym owner? Well, you better say yes when I ask you if you have some room *inside* for my bike. The only exceptions are pharmacies. But I'm constantly looking at my bike outside the door through the whole purchase. And since I have my seat calibrated for me(193cm tall) and use special pedals for special shoes I know very well that the vast majority of thieves will take at least a few seconds longer to steal it than it takes me to jump outside and grab him by the neck. Pd: I don't own a lock.
My favoorite tip is parking in a super market of some sort. Guards are usually around the bike racks anyway, and if you greet them and are polite they will remember you and your bike
Also, personalize it with either your name or a design that stands out. Thieves like to steal stuff that's common and not easily recognisable. If it gets stolen, search for it online, in the area. If you find the bike, go there and ask to testride it. And then confront him, once you have the bike in your posession.
When are we going to get finger print scanners for Electric Bikes? it's easily doable with programming. mine got recently stolen in the middle of the day in the center of the city next to a busy bus station. it's my first bike loss but the solution is just to get a thick fat metal lock but also at this point a technological deterrent to thieves. Maybe like a phone wi-fi signal lock for electric motor etc.
If you and a friend are out on your bikes then a killer clown comes up to you and says ”Give me your bike.” what do you do? A. Pull out a minigun B. Run and leave your friend to die C. Give him your bike D. Lock your bike up to his leg Post your answer in the comments.
I wouldn't recommend locking your bike to a parking meter. All it takes is someone to lift your bike above the meter and they can run off with the bike.
Me fearing someone will steal my single speed bike with bald and mismatched tires, mismatched rims, frame that has been welded twice, fork from another bike, rusty handlebar and most likely stolen by at least 5 different people previously. Yup.
Hi. I locked my mountain bike at Walmart bike rack and it was stolen, I found out later that the bike rack was tampered or defected . Someone lifted the bike rack slit my chain out of the rack took off . Walmart isn't responsible for bikes being stolen . Why is it that for example if I go to someone's house and did some repairs on there roof and I fell off accident I know I would be able to to sue them because I was on there property . Isn't that once I step into any property and I got hurt of damage was done to say my bike why can't I sue Walmart even if there bike rack was tampered or rack was damaged but Walmart did not take action to have maintenance on there bike rack or something. Walmart should be responsible my bike being stolen because rack had damage or something that actually caused my bike to be stolen right ?
One time my pals and I stopped near the end of a ride for a bar break. It was hot and we needed that salt water. We sat outside next to the cast-iron fence surrounding the front of the place, parking our bikes just on the other side of the fence. No locks. My bike was the outermost and I did the old school security method of derailing the chain and loosening the quick release levers. While we were enjoying ourselves and the beer, a man ran up, grabbed my bike, did a cyclocross/triathlon-style flying mount of my bike and then promptly hit the pavement. There were a few scratches to my precious carbon baby, but that I saved it from thievery and had the opportunity to give the would-be thief a word or two made it all worthwhile.
@@Crabiani Thanks, I'll have to try that, and yea its a bit over kill for that, but its not gonna stop the thief if they're also experienced in disassembling bikes where they know how to put it back, I read somewhere that said that just leaving your bike in the highest gear is the most ideal, even if they probably will just change the gears
Probably should have watched this before my bike got stolen Edit: Fun story if someone still finds this. The morning after it got stolen we found my bike at a local website where you can put up and sell things. They were selling it for like two times the original price. I knew it was my bike since it had the same kind of lock holder in the frame of the bike. We agreed with the thieves a good time and place to meet. Before we went to the nearby store where they were going to sell it, we called cops and told our situation. I went there, drove the bike around a little and was like: "wow what a cool bike definitely gonna buy this". The thieves were like 15 or 16 year old boys btw. Soon later the cops pulled up. One of them tried to flee but he was caught quickly. The cops called their parents and we went to their house. They had a place where they had hidden more probably stolen bikes. The parents look very dissapointed and the whole situation was kinda sad to witness. But I got my bike back and I'm still using it. The local newspaper contacted us asking if they could talk to us and make a story about it but we refused cause something something.
@@kyleinthought Ohhhh, you'd be surprised how bold people can be in cities. They don't care if they've got an audience, just as long as there aint any coppers nearby.
But it's a very stupid example, which is also very ironic for this particular type of video. And for the real dummies/Americans, I guess I'll need to point out why: Because the bear might just target the person that happens to be running the fastest, and proceed hunting that target without re-evaluation the situation and switching to the target who may or may not be visibly faster, and who may or may not be running the same direction
I'm going to be transferring to a uni soon, and the campus is huge. They have designated spots for bike lockup and it specifically says not to take bikes inside the housing. It's like they want us to get our bikes stolen. If I end up getting the single room like I'm hoping for, I'm going to ignore the rule and keep mine in my room at night. It's not like my roommate will complain lol
I'm so paranoid of getting my overly-expensive bike stolen, I'm simply going to store it in my dorm and ride around campus on a cheap Walmart bike and only use my good bike when hitting the trails near university.
*I've had about 5 bikes stolen from me in my lifetime* . Two or three were stolen out of the backyard. (Thus, don't assume anything on your property is safe when it's outdoors.) Two bikes were stolen at school. Both times were occasions where I had forgotten my bike lock at home and both times the bike was stolen immediately on the first mistake. Therefore, know that thieves hang around schools and businesses watching people on bikes to see if they lock their bike up or not. If you don't lock it up, a thief will know about it the moment you walk away from it, and it'll be gone. These days (with lessons learned) my bike is always locked up. If there's no post to lock it to, then it comes in with me -- no matter where I am. If it's an office building somewhere I'll walk it right through the main lobby and into an elevator. It never gets left anywhere unlocked. Don't even care if anyone in the building complains. I treat it the same way a blind person treats their service dog. Where I go, it goes.
Taekwondo Time well every time Iv gotten a new bike it's been stolen fairly quickly But then ya give up and wait till a nice rusty old bike turns up on the side street and I sware Iv never had to lock it up again Iv even left some over night at the train station unlocked And once my dads fancy bike was stolen from the forint porch locked up while my bike sat there unlocked in the driveway XDDD But there not even bad bikes? It's just all the paints peeling / scratching off and it's rusting in a lot of parts
@@suitman1308 this is not a good idea... Using an angle grinder out in the field is sketchy... But cutting you u locks in a comfy garage is just a matter of seconds..
I brought mine into a shopping centre. I took it to the food court and sat down and ate. A security guard told me I had to take it outside, I said I was worried about it being stolen and promised I wouldn't ride it inside and she let me stay.
Great video really liked it. I just find it so sad that we have to go through such an extend just so people Doesn’t steal our bikes! If only people wouldn’t steal them in the first place. 😭
My dad's technique has always been to use a U lock and a separate cable lock, because even if someone has the tools to get through one, they may not have the tools or time to get through both types of lock. He's had his bike for 25 years and never had one stolen.
This is what I do. I also try to park my bike in the FoV of a security camera, and even if someone did steal it it still has a GPS tracker on it (and if even that fails, there's the insurance). The bike cost me 6 months of rent so I am not going to let thieves have it too easily (meanwhile my old bike was a PoS junker where it didn't need any lock. A lock would've cost more than the bike lol)
When I was at college I had 2 different bikes stolen 3 times between them... When I first bought a road bike at 16 I had no idea of the prevalence of bike theft so used a similar lock to the one at 1:27, came out of the gym one time and my bike had gone and my lock was just cut on the floor. Reported it to the police, bought a new bike, and upped my security to a U lock for the frame and back wheel and an armoured cable lock for the front wheel. However, once, I left it in my girlfriend's garage. Her Dad left the garage open when he came in the house for a few minutes and some opportunist thief stole the bike right out the garage, fortunately, we managed to find him after he'd ridden about 2 miles on one of the A-roads out the village. Then about 6 months later the police rang and had found my first bike, so I gave it to my brother who put it in his back shed, within about 2 weeks it was stolen out his shed... and we never saw it again. The funniest part is these weren't even expensive bikes, like £250 cheap road bikes. I've recently bought a second-hand bike which was £1200 brand new and I am not looking forward to locking that up anywhere, I've bought 2 U locks and I'm really hoping this one doesn't get stolen!
It's a shame people can't just leave other people's stuff alone. I use to go the gym five years ago and lock up my bike with that cord lock. It was luckily never stolen bc I locked it up right outside of the shopping centre. The only solution for where I live is to buy an old second hand bike with a secure lock and just pray that it doesn't get stolen
i hook my bike up with C4 explosives and an expensive gps tracker if it even moves from its position without me unlocking the gps tracker alarm the C4 explodes automatically destroying any evidence my bike and the perpetrator.
Wow you bike kids really have imagination while sitting at Starbucks wishing you had an encyclopedia... Because you punks don't have guns, stun guns or explosives Millennials
All the tips about locking more securely only reduce the chances of it getting stolen, it's still very insecure, and hardly a solution. As demonstrated early on, battery angle grinders aren't difficult to carry around, and can get through multiple of even the most secure locks and methods in a very short space of time. And even if you use multiple locks, it's still possible to steal the accessories - seat, handlebars, forks, luggage racks, brakes, gears, pedals, etc. And the time taken to lock everything up securely, remove your most valuable accessories, and the expense of all this makes cycling a very unattractive method of transport. As the government is encouraging cycling as a feasible form of commuting and transport in a busy city, that they should provide real secure places to park a bike. Or businesses, rented offices, rented accommodation, etc in a city should have an obligation to provide it. Locked up basements/buildings, CCTV, keycard entry to get in and out (or similar), etc. And still use a ~£30 U-lock to clamp the frame to railings once you're in there.
I could buy a reasonable bike and have it stolen 30 times before its as expensive as the lowest quality beater car, before even adding the price of car maintenance. Certainly cars have specific benefits, but avoiding the expense of a stolen bike isn't really a valid reason.
I have a simpler method. Step One: Leave bike somewhere (your choice). Step Two: Make alliance with giant spiders and have them guard your bike for you. (Securing alliance may require human sacrifice). Step Three: You bike is now covered in giant spiders. No one will steal it, anyone who tries will become spider food. Step Four: Say goodbye to your new spider friends and go home.
Cheerful Pessimist ok but what will be their rate. Will they go on strike if i dont increase their salary in case they need more cash? I mean life is tough for everybody these days..
aigtr I was in North St Louis (a VERY bad area of the city) and saw a cool bike path they made over old train tracks. At first I thought it was cool, but my second thought was: fuck ever riding my bike on that. The only way I'd do that is if I had a bet on how far I could ride before my bike was jacked!
That has absolutely nothing to do with it. Some of the neighborhoods with the highest bike theft are some of the wealthiest. People tend not to ride expensive bikes in areas with a lot of violent crime and people who want to commit senseless acts of violence tend not to come to neighborhoods where people ride expensive bikes. However, they will come to neighborhoods where people ride expensive bikes to steal them.
Pickles I'm going to get my bike stolen then 😂😂 but I left a 300$ bike on my friends porch for 3 hrs which is long but it didn't get stolen surprisingly
that doesn't matter. I live in a decent neighborhood and bikes get stolen from the bike rack in front of my apartment building in plain view of a busy street all the time.
I just love the 'outrun your friend not the bear' example given in this video. This had me in pieces....a bit like my friend who wasn't as quick as me and the bear
I have the perfect solution for everyone here. I recently bought a $4,000 dollah bike and planning on riding it to work. Sooooo without further ado, Here's the list I made: 1. Invest for 3-4 good locks (If you can carry a bit more, buy some cheap ones on a dollar store and put a ton o' locks so the thief won't even bother to touch your bike) 2. Buy a bike cover (The sneaky ones with colors that blend in the surroundings) 3. Be smart on WHERE you lock your bike. 4. Too much work = less likely to get your bike stolen 5. Buy a GPS tracker and an alarm whenever someone puts it in motion. 6. Here's my lock combos: 6.1. Front wheel + Rim + Fork + and/or somewhere you will lock your bike to. 6.2 Seat tube + Rear wheel + and/or somewhere you will lock your bike to. 6.3. Saddle + Seat stays + and/or Rear wheel. 6.4. Handlebar + Stem + Front wheel and/or Frame (Use a chain on this one and make sure to lock it tighter than your anus) 7. If you have something on your bike that you could carry, BRING IT WITH YOU. Heck if you could bring the whole bike, never think twice. 8. Lastly, I own a bike cover with lock holes so I have an extra lock (On this one you can use a cheap lock but if you're rich and ballin', just go for a $30-$50 lock) and make sure the bike cover won't go anywhere as well. The lock goes thru the lock holes and thru the front wheel/rim. ALWAYS MAKE SURE EVERY LOCK IS SECURED. You can mix and match on what and where your locks would go, just make sure the bike is securely locked in place. The most effective and alternative way is to buy a cheap bike and use that one for your daily use and preserve your dream bike for long rides with the boys (and girls, not tryin to be sexist here) I only use my dream bike more often because it's like this, imagine playing on a high-tier gaming computer with high-end specs for a year and then try playing on a shit computer with old components. I bet you won't even last a day. If you're riding it for work like me, find the perfect spot for it. I personally I lock mine at back of the building where people rarely goes then hide it with my bike cover. Usually bike thieves go around town in a van looking for easy bikes to steal to make some easy money out of it. So never lock it in plain sight. Not all bike thieves are rich enough to buy an angle grinder. If the bike thief is smart, be smarter. Remember, the more work the thief will need to do to steal your bike, the less likely it will get stolen. Prove me wrong. PS: I heard that there's insurance for bikes now, try to look it up if it's available in your country.
@@RR-dj8rt I ride it to work so 5 mins of locking up is nothing because It's for my workplace area. I don't really need all that locks when I go on a long ride. So what's your point here?
I had a nice bike with a SRAM internal gear hub with coaster brakes. As a result. the very expensive bike looked like it was 50 years old and weighed 50 pounds, so nobody wanted to steal it. Even so, I made an alarm system for the bike just to be safe. (Alarms on bikes were unheard of in 2005)
Your last advice is wrong. Public places with lots of passing people are safer than the back of the building where they have more time to work on the lock.
The bycicle rack at 1:50 is NOT ok..... it's got outer bolts, they can easily be removed with a spanner. Use bycicle racks that are "buried" into the pavement, not screwed into it with the bolts outside
Ironically I had my seat, headlights, taillights, and front wheel (quick release) stolen. The bike next to mine was a piece of junk Walmart bike that the thief didn’t bother to touch.
I once thought this way, until my cousin introduced me to my first road bike a couple of months ago Now, granted, my road bike was still only around $120, and I get it bros "psh mine was x," whatever, not the point Road bikes are the masterrace of bikes. Riding a road bike should be considered a completely different sport from riding what you'll get at your local walmart. The difference made me fall in love with cycling, even after having once been a cynic You will be amazed at how little you ACTUALLY have to pedal, to get so far, and sort of jaded when you realize that you've been peddling a lie your entire life You've gotta face the facts, kids, your parents bought you an inefficient machine My advice: get yourself a really nice older bike for cheap. The $100-300 range. Not so much that you can't afford for it to be stolen, but expensive enough that you can get quality (lightweight, durable, good gearing) And remember kids, this goes for everything in life. It is almost always better to buy the high quality thing, despite the extra money. I found a genuine mink fur coat at a thrift store the other day. Thing must have been $2,000+ bucks new. It looked PERFECT, and was impossible to tell it's age. It turned out to be 57 years old. Now, $2,000 bucks is a ton of money for a coat. Then again, how many coats would you buy in 57 years? Im of course advocating for the happy middle. Go for the high quality products. A fur coat is more than high quality, it's high flashy. There are bikes in the $3,000+ range that'd shave 20 seconds off your mile from a $300 bike, sure, but it's all about factoring for diminishing returns Efficiency
I like to think that the bodies and souls of bike thieves completely dissipate into the void after death, so that no part of them can be reincarnated. bike thievery and child abuse are the only unforgivable crimes. at least murder sometimes makes sense and some good can come from rape (like your determined girl(and/or boy)friend hunting down the raper and cutting off his dick-that would be an improvement). even when you're destitute, there are better, easier, and less shitty ways to make money than stealing bikes.
Dude if you're willing to literally be killed by a bear just so that your friend doesn't have to be then you're probably closer to family. That or it says more about you than your friend.
I have the best locks available but only use them when transporting my bicycles INSIDE my van. Otherwise, my bicycle comes inside the building wherever I go. If the store, or building person, doesn't like it I can usually ask them to place it behind the counter or in an agreed safe room (locked or watched) but, if they insist that I place the bicycle outside, I write that store off or visit it later without my bicycle. 40 years of serious cycling and never had a stolen bicycle.
I've had three bikes stolen already, like he said if the thief really wants your bike they're going to steal it. Best thing is to ride an inexpensive bike, one that's not worth the time and effort to steal. That's my strategy. I don't even have to lock up my bike anymore because nobody wants that POS.
It's just too bad that bikes seem to have been made to be stolen. Somehow stealing a bike is less of an offence to people than stealing a car: criminal law needs to be adapted to change this perception. My bike getting stolen is one of the reasons I'm hesitating a lot in getting a new e-bike because these things are freakishly expensive and thus even more subject to theft.
My teacher leaves her bike in front of the school unlocked and when we asked her why doesn't she lock her bike (anyone from the street can access it) she said she trusts her students... Btw it's a limited Author Atlanta
One of the main points to using a bike should be convenience . . . So how convenient is it to follow these tips and still have your bike stolen . . . I believe insurance and law enforcement are taking a blind sided approach to the problem because it justifies their other agendas .
You could remove one of the pedales and the bike thief might not notice its missing and when he gets on the bike he will come crashing to the ground and hopefully break a few bones.
Yes why not . or leave a old bike that you don't want any more with all the spokes on the wheels un done He/she will look like John Wayne riding down the street.
I have an idea. Get a good size master lock and latch it to a length of chain. Purchase a GPS tracker and leave your bike unlocked. Track your bike, take out the chain and lock and beat the scumbag that stole it. Enough people do this, problem will go away..
The problem is if enough people start doing it, the thieves will know where the most likely place for trackers are and remove them before riding off. You could say well build it deep into the frame or something where it isn't feasible to remove.... but what happens when the battery needs charging or replacing? I guess if you get a good quality over capacitied Li-On built and welded deep into the frame, with a cable to allow charging, you should then hopefully you'd only need to go through the expense of replacing the battery every 7 years or more. The other problem is that most cyclists are mild-mannered none-violent people. Most thieves come from rough estates, carry weapons, and have hordes of mates to back them up at a moments notice. You could say report it to the police, but at least here in the UK they'd just give them a slap on the wrist call them a naughty boy, and take the bike back. And their response time is soooo slow it'd probably have been sold and changed hands several times by the time they got there. You can tell I've given this some thought lol. I still feel like its a possible answer, but certainly has its issues.
I just use a giant 2inch thick chain links and a fist sized master lock with a 3 inch shackle its pretty strong but I wanna get another for my back tire
I think the best locking technique is a Ulock and cable combo. Secure the Ulock around the main tube of your bike and then just wrap the two wheels with the cable and then slide it into the ulock. The Ulock can still be picked or broken in less than a minute but I can always guarantee there will be somebody else with their bike less secured than mine.
Tip from the Netherlands: use a cheap second hand bike for your everyday inner city trips. It has not much values for thieves, and if it gets stolen it is not a big loss. Save your sporting bicyle for touring in the weekend.
exoman I have discovered recently. if someone wants your bike bad enough,it doesn't matter how secure locked up it is,the thief will find a way to take it.
Orz there is no "wont get stolen", only less likely. Good video tips. I bought non-noisy small outdoor chains from bunnings and locks to chain to the frame the bike rack(weight holder) and seat. I wound thickish metal wire around and through the quick releases. I heavily tape down my bike bell and lights. Ofc, someone could wirecutter my brake lines just to spite me, or cut and steal my light (happened), or unscrew the pieces or pick the locks and saw the chains. The thing is, dont make it easy, they probably wont bother. Hopefully. Id be much more inclined to hide it or bring it inside if i was in a high bike-theif area. But theres always ganna be a locked up bike tyre or frame somewhere around. :/ poor bastards. Rip. Yeah Pretty much never park your bike outside at night, especially at a bus station, dont even leave it there during the day! (yup.) There is also decor that fake makes your bike look in disrepair so they want try to steal it as opposed to a shiny well maintained or new one. I dont have that tho. My bike has been rusting since my ankle injury...
0:30 I think this is a skewed way to look at it. You have to take into account the location. If you can't find a good location to lock your bike at your work place then look around the area. If your bike is locked somewhere fairly public and busy, the chances of someone using a grinder are nil.
Use a decent chain (min of 5mm thickness) and a round padlock so only a grinder will get through it, avoid cable locks as they're shit, u locks are okay but most can be frozen and hit with a hammer, understand that you can't stop someone from stealing your bike however you can deter them and the more hassle it looks and the more tools required the less likely anyone will try to steal it, I know several bike thieves and that's why i use a chain lock and not once has anyone attempted to steal mine, also put the chain through the front wheel or take it off and put the chain through both wheels at the back and don't chain it to anything not secure.
4:11 That's what I try to do. I have a U-Lock on the fram, 2 Chain Locks (1 on front tire & 1 on back tire), and a Cable Lock for icing on the cake. And I have an alarm to let me know if somebody touches my bike.
+Aesthetic of Dust i feel the same way, u never think this much about protecting your bike as a kid but geez, its a different story as an adult. bad ppl out there taking our bike responsibility to a new level of security.
How is the parking meter, “OK”? All a thief would have to do is lift the chain over the parking meter because its so short. AND why is a tree “not” ok? If its in a public place with people around, then a theif would have to cut down the tree in front of a bunch of people to steal the bike making it completely obvious what they’re doing.
Most trees are considered property of the city, and a lot of cities state that it's damaging to the health of the tree because as more people chain their bikes to it, the process chips away the bark and limits the lifespan of the tree. So some city workers will cut your lock and remove the bike from the tree. At least that's what I've heard.
Candace N Thats true, but anything you lock your bike up to in the city is considered city property and most chains nowadays are lined with smooth plastic so it wont chip away at the tree or scratch anything you lock you bike to. People build homes in trees without damaging the tree or its growth so its not really an issue
@@i528DNA the type of lock he suggested was a ulock which does not leave enough room to go over the head of the meter but even if you used a chain lock you could just wrap it as many times as needed so the chain was not loose enough to fit over the head of the meter (guess common sense is the first thing you need to prevent bike theft)
Basically the best way not to get your bike stolen is to look at the type of security that other people have for bikes similar to yours in the area where you are parking and then go one step above them. If they're using cheap cable locks, then use a lightweight u-lock. If they're using lightweight u-locks, then use a heavyweight u-lock, etc...
Love the techniques, I like to lock my bike up on a hypothetical 'Main Stage' - the spot that screams "Everybody can see you right now and it's weird" Figure if I feel it, the bike thief will too...
But don't forget that a lot of thieves are "social hackers"... They basically know how to act normal in the most embarrassing situations. Your technique may be useful against an unexperienced thief, but an old-dog might even get help from strangers passing by lol

Revelation 1:8 (Jesus speaking) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, *the Almighty.* Revelation 22:13 (Jesus speaking) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. --- There Are None Righteous / How To Be Saved Romans 3:10 & 23 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Luke 5:31-32 (Jesus speaking) 31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 1 Peter 3:18 (The word “quicken” means “to make alive”) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.
Beware!!! If you see a poorly locked bike where only the front wheel is secure and you are unable to secure your front wheel to your own bike, do not lock it there! The their will take the other bike and your front wheel, giving them a full bike and your contribution made it easier for them to steal someone else's! If you lock up somewhere regularly but don't want to care a second lock constantly, leave your front wheel lock locked at the location and the main lock with you, making it more convenient. Another consideration is a balance of whether or not to remove your front wheel and take it with you, don't, to a thief it will look like a ditched parts bike, meaning they are more likely to scavenge your parts, same goes for locking a removed wheel to the rear and frame, to the mind the thief is reminded that the bike it not one entity but many, thus making them more likely to think of taking your components, if you ride in a city get locking skewers or better a threaded nut hub wheelset, it looks less flash and desirable but coupled with Kevlar tyres the need to remove them as frequently is lessened considerably, the weight of a spanner is less than a second lock if you ride for utility more than sport!
I'm designing a bike lock as part of a final year project. What us the best bike lock you'd recommend? Are there any locks hat are actually okay? Cause i've seen even d-locks get cut
+Taylor Hsieh Kryptonite New York m18. But no matter what lock you use, it needs to the able to resist an angle grinder, bolt cutters, a bottle jack, levering, and hand tools. Nothing does.
From what I've read most cable locks can be cut with basic hand tools, larger bolt cutters will take out even high end chains in seconds, bolt cutters struggle with D locks over 15mm thick, but since the invention of Lithium battery powered tools D locks are more likely to an attack using a grinder. Some advice says using unusual lock types could be one approach but I'd say not unless you can show it can withstand all these attacks to go for the best you can afford or just get a nasty cheap bike they won't want to steal..
I lock my bike near the mall outside with two locks like the U lock and the steel chain lock when I spend hours shopping and come back to my back and it’s still there one piece without stolen a parts.😊
@Coastliner700 Unacceptable answer. Zero points for you. Douze points for the Netherlands. Hashtag Eurovision, hashtag bikes, hashtag hagelslag (google it.)
